== Persistence Layer Test Suite ==

The unit tests for the persistence layer create the database through [http://hibernate.org Hibernate] and then insert data into it, again using Hibernate. The resulting state of the database is verified by executing [http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/en/html/queryhql.html HQL] queries. Where applicable, polymorphic HQL queries are tested as well.

The tests use the well-known unit testing framework [http://junit.org Junit]. Although developed against a local [http://www.mysql.com MySQL] database, the tests are currently being remodeled such that they use an embedded [http://www.mckoi.com McKoi] database server; this removes the dependency of the test suite on a pre-installed external database server. Some peculiarities of !McKoi are being accommodated, for instance it chokes if you try to create a table called "user".
