Respawn is a .NET library that intelligently resets test databases to a clean state between integration tests. It analyzes foreign key relationships to build a deterministic deletion order, supporting SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and Informix.

Use cases

  • reset database to clean state between integration tests
  • delete test data respecting foreign key constraints
  • replace transaction rollback strategies in test fixtures
  • clean database tables before each test run
  • isolate database state in automated test suites

When to choose

  • you run integration tests against a real database and need repeatable clean state
  • transaction rollbacks or manual deletes are causing flaky or slow tests
  • you need foreign-key-aware deletion across multiple SQL databases

When to avoid

  • you only run unit tests with mocked data access
  • you need full database snapshots or migrations rather than data deletion
  • your stack is not .NET
