Hello,
I would like to use Test studio to record some of my tests; however, what I need to figure out is that I need to be able to, when TestStudio starts, get my database into an initial state of data for the test; essentially, as I run my tests, everytime I need to start the test project, I need to have the database at a particular state. Have you guys got any tips for accomplishing this? I'm using the MS test framework for unit tests.
Thanks.

Hello Brian Mains,
You have a few options depending on how you "get your database into an initial state."

You have a few options depending on how you "get your database into an initial state."
- Test as Step - If your database can be restored through your web application, then record a test that does this. Then call this test from within another test via the Test as Step feature.
- Coded Step - Insert a coded step and write code to accomplish your task. Here is a page with a few suggestions, such as swapping the data file on disk.
- Custom Script Before Test Run - Insert code into the OnBeforeTestStarted() method to restore your database before the script starts.
