database loading script

There is a script reloadDB.sh that will load both the test database and the development database. It tears everything down though, so if you're using it frequently you'll want to remove a few lines.

test database location/initialization

/backend/lib/tasks/test_data.rake is where test data is loaded from. This is the data that is tested against in the tests. This data is automatically loaded with ./reloadDB.sh

test location

tests are located in the /backend/spec folder. You can run these with rake spec.
