Hi Boris, I just use a registery builder and add the sub modules I need to test (as already mentioned). Often I use public TestModule static classes that reside into the TestCase class. Then I just use those TestModule classes to build the registry. They contain often only the services needed using bind(ServiceImpl.class) which makes it quite easy to use special bindings and only a fraction of the application sub modules of this BI parts.
I use a H2 inmemory setup to get everything related to unit tests done quickly. For setup I use the appropriated services and sometimes I use the entities directly. Depends on the situation and use case. Often I use the same entities in different services dealing those differently or altering them (like one serivce creates a task and another one picks it up and alters and process it). I also have limited unit tests where I simply setup hibernate directly, add the required entity classes and wire up and instanciate the services directly but I am almost ever come back later and replace those with using a RegistryBuilder. One thing that you need to consider is that your HibernateConfigurer instances must be different for the application and the test. I have an AppModule and a TestModule and also I have sub modules with the configuration. Therefore I just add a InMemoryTestDatabaseModule and get the hibernate configuration for the in memory test database. Also this module is in src/test/java rather then in the src/main/java. The rest is as straight forward as you actually wrote. Usually one use state-testing rather then behavior-testing. So you setup, modify, verify the state of the database. There are rare occursions I use behavior testing and using a mocking framework for injecting services and replace those.
