-- disclaimer -- I am not a DBUnit expert, and am only using a small portion of its features! -- end disclaimer -- With that said...I will give you an overview of how I am using DBUnit. Step 1: I start by seeding my database. Once that is done I use DBUnit to export a snapshot of the database. Step 2: Proceed to develop new features, bug fixes, etc. Step 3: When development is complete and prior to running my unit tests, I use DBUnit to reset the db back to a last known good state to remove any data that was inserted during development. Step 4: I run my unit tests that test functionality with limited / no data and let my unit tests populate the db. This allows for testing of how the system performs with and without expected data. Step 5: I run a cleanup script that includes a DBUnit reset. Step 6: goto step 2 and repeat.
