Bring in docker when you need integration testing to run tests on a containerised database. | |

EF's testability has improved greatly in version 6. You may now fully mock DbContext. Regardless, you could always mock DbSet, and that's the meat of Entity Framework, anyways. DbContext is little more than a class to house your DbSet properties (repositories) in one location (unit of work), especially in a unit testing context, where all the database initialization and connection stuff is not wanted or needed anyways.
