Dev.Util.Testing

A lightweight, high-performance random data generator for unit testing and seeding. Generate realistic mock data for your tests without the overhead of heavy mocking frameworks.

NuGet Version

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Dev.Util.Testing

✨ Features

  • 👤 Identities: Generate realistic random names, emails, and usernames.
  • 📅 Chronology: Random dates within specific ranges (past, future, or custom).
  • 🔢 Numerics: Random integers, doubles, and decimals.
  • 📝 Text: Random sentences and paragraphs for UI placeholders.
  • 🛠️ Utility: Random booleans and unique ID helpers.

🛠 Usage Examples

1. Mocking User Data

Quickly generate realistic users for your test assertions.

using Dev.Util.Testing;

[Fact]
public void Test_User_Registration()
{
    var mockUser = new {
        Name = Generate.RandomName(),     // e.g. "John Smith"
        Email = Generate.RandomEmail(),   // e.g. "asmith@example.com"
        Age = Generate.RandomInt(18, 65)
    };
    
    // Run test...
}

2. Random Dates and Times

Test scenarios involving expiration or history.

using Dev.Util.Testing;

// Get a random date from the last 10 years
DateTime history = Generate.RandomDate(DateTime.Now.AddYears(-10), DateTime.Now);

// Get a future date (next 30 days)
DateTime expiry = Generate.RandomDate(DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddDays(30));

3. Placeholder Text

Generate content for UI testing or database seeding.

using Dev.Util.Testing;

string bio = Generate.RandomText(100); // 100 characters of random text
string sentence = Generate.RandomSentence();

4. Simple Random Values

bool isActive = Generate.RandomBool();
double price = Generate.RandomDouble(1.0, 1000.0);

All data is generated in-memory using System.Random. It is designed for speed and utility in local testing environments.
