Mid EF Core

What in-memory database providers are available for testing?

  • EF Core InMemory provider: Lightweight, fast, but doesn’t mimic relational

  • Other options: SQLite in-memory mode (better relational simulation).
  • Use InMemory for unit tests; SQLite for more realistic integration testing.
