Developing N-Tiered Applications with EF is difficult. Reattach objects into the data context after client modifications requires too much work." EF is evil for this reason alone! “4.

With Entity Framework, the continuous headache of not being to have an in memory provider or Xml provider has plagued me. Not only am I now bound to requiring database connectivity run unit tests (not true unit testing), but I have to put in the extra effort to initialize and tear down that data for every single test. But yes, I have seen similar implementations to what you discuss, unfortunately for some testing is an afterthought and for others testing correctly gets no thought.

I would be curious to what design pattern you are using to come up with this list as the design patterns themselves should help with minimizing these issues as well. For instance, for using a loosely coupled application with the composite application block, interfaces pass in the data sources to avoid stale data. Great post though. Josh, good post.
