Annotation Type ShouldMatchDataSet

@Target(value={TYPE,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Inherited
public @interface ShouldMatchDataSet

Verifies state of underlying data store using data sets defined by this annotation. Verification is invoked after test's execution (including transaction if enabled).
If files are not specified explicitly, following strategy is applied:

• Assumption that files are stored in datasets folder.
• If annotation is defined on method level, file name has following format: expected-[fully qualified class name]#[test method name].[default format].
• If annotation is defined on class level, file name has following format: expected-[fully qualified class name].[default format].

If not specified in arquillian.xml, then expected format is XML. Presence of this annotation in the test class enables Arquillian Persistence Extension.
