DbUnit

If you're working on a database-driven project, you'll know how tricky it can be to keep things running smoothly between test runs. That's where DbUnit comes in - it's a JUnit extension that can also be used with Ant, and its primary goal is to make sure your database is always in a known state.

What does that mean in practical terms? Well, if one test case causes issues with your database, it can have a knock-on effect on all sorts of other tests, causing them to fail or even causing further damage. With DbUnit, though, you'll be able to avoid these issues entirely.

Overall, if you're looking for a way to keep your testing procedures consistent and reliable, DbUnit is definitely worth considering. It's easy to use, and can make a real difference to the robustness of your database-driven projects.
