Answer 1

I see you put a lot of effort to really test your classes. Good! :)

My comments/questions would be:

• what about mocking? you do not mention any tool for this
• it seems to me that you care a lot about the nitty-gritty details (I do not say they are not important!), while neglecting the business purpose of tested class. I guess it comes from the fact you code code-first (do you?). What I would suggest is more TDD/BDD approach and focus on business responsibilities of the tested class.
• not sure what this gives you: "Method testing grouped in static nested classes"?
• regarding auto-generation of test stubs etc. Simply put: don't. You will end up testing implementation instead of behaviour.
