The testing documentation was missing references to Testcontainers, a library that simplifies managing containerized database instances during testing.
Changes
choosing-a-testing-strategy.md: Added Testcontainers mention in the section discussing Docker-based database setup, highlighting its role in automating container lifecycle management for tests.
testing-with-the-database.md: Added Testcontainers mention in the "Setting up your database system" section where Docker images are discussed.
Both mentions link to theTestcontainers .NET modules page and integrate naturally into existing Docker-related discussions.
Context
Testcontainers addresses a common pain point: manually managing database containers for testing. The library provides programmatic control over container lifecycle, making it easier to test against production database systems as recommended throughout the testing documentation.
