Create a database initialiser which always drops and creates the database, populating it with seed data each time. Use that initialiser only in your unit test class.

Or better still, don't unit test EF, you don't gain anything. Mock your EF back end and only test your own code.

if you store you database as a file (mdb) you can just restore the original file.

otherwhite you could write the code that creates and populates it in you testinitialize method
