>             Project: Arquillian
>          Issue Type: Feature Request
>          Components: Test Harness Integration
>            Reporter: Paul Bakker
>            Priority: Minor

> Two things are often needed when testing JPA code:
> -1 Counting rows in a table
> -2 Rolling back the transaction after each test (to speed up test execution, while potentially dangerous)
> To simplify testing it would be good to have a set of base classes that implement this common functionality. Test class can extend a base class when this kind of functionality is required. The Spring framework has excellent support for this and can be used for inspiration:
> http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/testing.html#testcontext-support-classes-junit4
> I included some example code that I wrote myself to get a feel how difficult it would be to implement. The code uses an embedded container using the EJB 3.1 API, but should off course integrate with Arquillian. 
> By default each testcase runs in a transaction (using the usertransaction) and is rolled back at the end of the test, unless the testcase is annotated @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED). The rollback behavior can be changed with the custom @RollbackAfterTest anotation.
> I would be happy to help implementing this feature.
