To create the database use the CreateNorthwindEFDB.sql script from the NorthwindEFModel\Database folder (e.g. sqlcmd -S .\sqlexpress -E -i CreateNorthwindEFDB.sql) - Tests are using xUnit testing framework. To be able to run tests inside the Visual Studio 11 you need to install a test runner. You can get one here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/463c5987-f82b-46c8-a97e-b1cde42b9099 - By default all connection strings point to .\SqlExpress instance. If you are using a different SQL Server instance you need to update the connection strings in app.config files to reflect the SQL Server instance and security parameters you are using.
