As far as filling the database with data goes, we require our devs to keep a certain unit test up-to-date: the "integration test" of testing whether we are able to successfully persist our domain objects to the database. In your case, it may be difficult to start from scratch and write an integration test for your 500 entity system, but you may find that it would be worth it for other reasons.
