Summary

We have seen implementing realistic stories by setting up the system with EF and SQL Server, then building it a bit at a time by incrementally adding unit tests and increasing the complexity with every additional unit test.

We have seen a realistic fake test double and a concrete builder to construct our sample data.

We had to select multiple important scenarios to encourage you to examine the full source code, otherwise, the pages will be filled with code.

If you have read and understood the code, then I assure you that this is the peak of the complexity, as other chapters should be easier to read and follow. So congratulations, you have made it through the hard part of this book! I trust you can now go ahead and start your TDD-based project with EF and a relational DB.

Hopefully, this chapter has given you a guide to starting your new EF and SQL Server-based project. The next chapter does the same implementation but focuses on document DB and has different patterns...
