Several possible options were discussed:

- Using the DAOs to help seed/examine data (eg. testSaveAndGet)
- SQL Scripts to seed test data
- JDBC statements
- DBUnit
- Serialised java objects


Two specific tools were mentioned that can assist in managing the data:

  • Liquibase http://www.liquibase.org
    • Version control schema and seed data
    • Automatic handling of RDBMS schema upgrades/downgrades
    • Handling of seed/reference data
    • Handling of test data driven by environment variables
    • support or Refactoring of RDBMS
  • Unitils http://unitils.org
    • Manages simple insertion of test data with DBUnit on a test by test basis
