Somewhat more seriously, let's say you wanted to do test queries against
a database with 100 million records in it. You could rebuild the
database from scratch for each test, but doing so might take hours per
test. Sometimes, real life is just*so* inconvenient.
All serious database has rollback feature when they're available to
quickly revert database state in the setUp/cleanUp phase.
I guess MongoDB is not a serious database?
I guess there are always those oddball cases, but if you choose MongoDB
then you already know the consequences that it couldn't be as easily
unit-tested. And in any case, it is generally a bad idea to unittest
with a database that contains 100 million items, that's for performance
testing. So your point is?
