test data genaration code example
Example 1: what is test data
Test data is the data that is used by
the testers to run the test cases.
Whilst running the test cases,
testers need to enter some input data.
To do so, testers prepare test data.
It can be prepared manually and also by using tools.
For example, To test a basic login
functionality having a user id, password
fields. We need to enter some data
in the user id and password fields.
So we need to collect some test data.
Example 2: how to generate test data
When=> sprint planning meeting
Who=> Mostly I get test data from PO
However in some instances, especially in
negative test scenario I may need to
generate test data.
I use java faker to generate data
How => Faker faker=new Faker();
or String manupilation(substring concatination etc.)
I store it at SharePoint. Saved in my project
in xls type under data package
For API Part: I use "https://www.mockaroo.com/" ==>
generates multiple format (CSV, JSON, XML, etc)
