DummyNET

DummyNET is a project to make generating dummy data easy. For all information about DummyNET project go to project site.

DummyNET.Core

DummyNET.Core is part of DummyNET project. It is the core library. It defines interfaces and base classes for DummyNET project.

It defines two base engines

• SetDummyEngine
• EnumDummyEngine

SetDummyEngine

SetDummyEngine is a specific implementation of DummyEngine. It creates sequences of values from a defined set.

When a sequence is defined with defined constant behavior, the defined constant value must be contained in set.

Getting started with SetDummyEngine

If you want to build your SetDummyEngine, start with define a set

string[] rainbow = new string[] { "Red", "Orange", "Yellow", "Green", "Ligth Blue", "Indigo", "Violet" };

Now you can define the SequenceOptions

public class RainbowSequenceOptions : SetSequenceOptions<string>
{
    public RainbowSequenceOptions(SequenceBehavior behavior,string name)
        :this(behavior,name,rainbow,"Red")
    {}

    public RainbowSequenceOptions(SequenceBehavior behavior,string name,string definedConstantValue)
        :base(behavior,name,rainbow,definedConstantValue)
    {}

    private static readonly string[] rainbow;

    static RainbowSequenceOptions()
    {
        rainbow = new string[] { "Red", "Orange", "Yellow", "Green", "Ligth Blue", "Indigo", "Violet" };
    }
}

Now you can define yuor sequence

public class RainbowSequence : SetSequence<string,RainbowSequenceOptions>
{
    public RainbowSequence(RainbowSequenceOptions options)
        :base(options)
    {}
}

The last step is to create your DummyEngine

public class RainbowDummyEngine : SetDummyEngine<string,RainbowSequence,RainbowSequenceOptions>
{
    protected override RainbowSequence CreateSequence(RainbowSequenceOptions options)
    {
        return new RainbowSequence(options);
    }
}

Now you are ready to use your SetDummyEngine

string sequenceName = "MyRainbowSequence";
RainbowSequenceOptions options = new RainbowSequenceOptions(SequenceBehavior.Random,sequenceName);
RainbowDummyEngine engine = new RainbowDummyEngine();
engine.StartNewSequence(options);

string rainbowColor = engine.GetValue(sequenceName);

engine.StopSequence(sequenceName);

EnumDummyEngine

EnumDummyEngine is a specific implementation of DummyEngine. It creates sequences of values from an enumerator.

Getting started with EnumDummyEngine

If you want to build your EnumDummyEngine, start with define an enumerator

public enum Trafficlight { Red, Orange, Green};

Now you can define the SequenceOptions

public class TrafficlightSequenceOptions : EnumSequenceOptions<Trafficlight>
{
    public TrafficlightSequenceOptions(SequenceBehavior behavior,string name)
        :this(behavior,name,default(Trafficlight))
    {}

    public TrafficlightSequenceOptions(SequenceBehavior behavior,string name,Trafficlight definedConstantValue)
        :base(behavior,name,definedConstantValue)
    {}

}

Now you can define yuor sequence

public class TrafficlightSequence : EnumSequence<Trafficlight,TrafficlightSequenceOptions>
{
    public TrafficlightSequence(TrafficlightSequenceOptions options)
        :base(options)
    {}
}

The last step is to create your DummyEngine

public class TrafficlightDummyEngine : EnumDummyEngine<Trafficlight,TrafficlightSequence,TrafficlightSequenceOptions>
{
    protected override TrafficlightSequence CreateSequence(TrafficlightSequenceOptions options)
    {
        return new TrafficlightSequence(options);
    }
}

Now you are ready to use your EnumDummyEngine

string sequenceName = "MyTrafficlightSequence";
TrafficlightSequenceOptions options = new TrafficlightSequenceOptions(SequenceBehavior.Random,sequenceName);
TrafficlightDummyEngine engine = new TrafficlightDummyEngine();
engine.StartNewSequence(options);

Trafficlight trafficLightStatus = engine.GetValue(sequenceName);

engine.StopSequence(sequenceName);
