Setting Up Data Driven Tests with Java Tools
summary
Shows how to provision isolated databases with Testcontainers Oracle Free and wire JUnit 5 + Spring Boot tests, use DbUnit or Database Rider to seed and assert DB state, and run a live demo where tests turn green then fail when expectations change. Demonstrates driver availability from Maven Central, that official images are 9 GB and ~3 minutes to boot versus slim images ~900 MB and ~10 seconds, and that @ServiceConnection removes DynamicPropertySource plumbing. Tests run and verify data diffs automatically.
