Data mocking using Faker
Published:
Ideally, test data is of priority and the project teams always face an issue in getting the relevant and realistic test data for pre-production activities. More issues(refresh of data; data manipulations etc.,) arise, when programs consume data from a shared environment. Sometimes, requirements of data varies and a new set of data should be replicated through external tools and technologies. Many commercial data mocking/stubbing tools are available in the market, but as a open source lover, I recommend using Faker library.
