Hi.

Does eValid have any kind of internal test data generation capability?

Thanks

Thanks for inquiring about that MariaS.

There are many different "kinds" of test data generation.

The most technical type is "fully automatic test data generation", which is a subject that has vexed the software testing community for decades.

To generate test data from a program text (source) turns out to be extremely difficult and may be "unsolvable" in the mathematical sense.

The more practical approach is to use automation to generate test data from pre-supplied patterns.

This is what the eVGen subsystem in the eValid family of tools does.

You can check out eVgen, described in general terms here:

This does a lot of string processing under control of a simple template that it uses as a file extraction syntax to create test data -- large amounts of it if you wish.
