Description

Author

Max Stemplevski

This class can generate test data from word files.

It reads files with words of several types like female and male first names, surnames, verbs, pronouns, questions, etc..

The class can generate random text of specific types from random words read from files, like sentences with variable number of words, male and female first and last names, or common values for testing applications like random login names, email addresses, random age, etc..

Currently the package provides files with words for English and Russian.

Number 7

Some applications need to be tested using fake data that must be as close as possible to real data.

This class can generate random text for testing purposes that can simple values like random names, or more complex text like complete sentences in different languages.
