What you can do is to create for each test case your dummy DB. For doing this there is a pretty cool tool available called SQLite Manager (it's a FireFox plugin). You can populate your DB with this tool and save it in a folder for your test cases. Something like
Testcases/testCase1/yourDB.db Testcases/testCase2/yourDB.db Testcases/testCase3/yourDB.db .... In this case you have not to rename your DBs all the time. After you are done with populating your DBs, you can use the adb push tool to push your DB in the specific folder in which normally your DB is stored. In case of you want to pull an initial version of your DB from your device, use the adb pull. Then load the DB with SQLite Manager and do your changes. You find the DB in the following folder: /data/data/<your application>/databases I hope, it is not too confusing what I try to describe.
