Andres Almiray: Setting Up Data Driven Tests
summary
Bootstraps real databases in tests using Testcontainers and compares DB state with DbUnit and the modern wrapper Database Rider. Demo runs two test cases against an Oracle Free 23 container that starts in ~10–30 seconds and a faster slim image in ~12 seconds, seeds initial data from YAML, performs an insert, and shows automatic dataset diffs when expectations (one versus two rows) fail. Setup is repeatable per-test and CI friendly.
