Sounds like you have an interesting setup. I'm glad it works for you.
However, that will not work for my use case. This is not a "Normal
testing setup". We do rapid iterations and a lot of automated testing,
so the process has to be quick and also use an actual database which
has been prepopulated with test data and will also process that data
and add new data during the testing.
