SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Seeds the initial Aggregate state for Gherkin/BDD tests by writing to the database via EF Core DbContext. This bypasses API calls to establish deterministic test data enabling repeatable scenarios.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct DB seeding of aggregates for integration tests
  • Bypasses API layers to speed up and stabilize test preparation
  • Works with SpecFlow Given steps to prepare known states for scenarios

Quick Start

Seed the initial aggregate state for a test by inserting entities via EF Core in the test setup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I seed test data directly to the database for SpecFlow BDD integration tests?

Seed test data directly to the database for SpecFlow BDD integration tests by writing entities via EF Core DbContext. This bypasses API layers to establish deterministic aggregate states, ensuring repeatable scenario preparation.

What is the best way to prepare aggregate state for Gherkin scenarios without calling API routes?

Preparing aggregate state for Gherkin scenarios without API routes involves using EF Core DbContext to insert test data directly. This enforces test data consistency and repeatability by bypassing API calls during test setup.

Can I use EF Core DbContext to set up deterministic test data for CSharp integration testing?

Yes, you can use EF Core DbContext to set up deterministic test data for CSharp integration testing. It directly persists predefined aggregate attributes and relationships into PostgreSQL, creating known states for reliable scenarios.

Why bypass API layers when seeding test aggregates for BDD scenarios?

Bypassing API layers when seeding test aggregates speeds up and stabilizes test preparation. Writing directly via EF Core DbContext avoids network overhead and route dependencies, ensuring test data consistency and repeatability.

Does this database seeding approach work with PostgreSQL and EF Core for SpecFlow Given steps?

Yes, this database seeding approach works with PostgreSQL and EF Core for SpecFlow Given steps. It inserts entities directly during test setup to prepare known aggregate states, establishing deterministic test data efficiently.
