Let's Talk About Data Generators

REVIEW:  Good introduction to options for generating test data - worth the read if you are new to data generation or want to dig deeper. 
Discussion topics include reverse regex, programmatic, and simple tools.

   Generator Patterns:

  • Boolean — this data type is one of the simplest and it’s used to define if a value is true or false
  • Numeric Patterns — the numeric patterns include many other data types (integer, long, double, etc.)
  • Sequential — will generate a sequence of values starting from one value and ending with another one
  • Date and Time Stamp — obviously, this will generate date and time formats
  • Text Patterns — used to generate from one-word texts (first name, country, city) to more complex phrases (using Reverse Regular Expression Text)
