Hi all, I am investigating which tool to use to create exact database snapshots that are loaded into a database befpre some JUnit tests are run. The goal is to have the exact same data present for each test run.
So I read on the liquibase homepage that I can create test datasets. I also know about DBUnit, which also exports a snapshot to a xml file. Maybe someone can explain what he thinks is the best way of doing these things. We have a MySQL database and the DB including data is not very big. - Why not use mysqldump one the test data has been created and import the db before each test run? Isn't that the easiest solution? - Why does both DBUnit and Liquibse save the dataset as XML. It is meant to be database-agnostic, but we won't change our DB (and I doubt hardly one does) in the foreseeable future. Woudl it mean doing an dump is really the best option or am I a forgetting an important point?
