Mock Data Generator
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Mock data generators create fake data sets to fill in applications during development and testing. Data such as name, email, address, and date can be generated in JSON, CSV, or SQL formats. The use of fake data protects the privacy of real users and facilitates testing of scenarios that are not yet available in the database.
Key points
- Mock data is used for automated development, demo, and testing
- Do not use authentic personal data without legal and permitted basis
- Seeds make random outcomes that can be reproduced consistently
- Customize the output format to the needs, for example JSON or CSV
- Mark fake data to avoid mixing production data
