Ah yes, the age-old "frozen test fixtures" dilemma—because apparently, even test data needs a sweater in large projects. 🧊🔧 Brace yourself for a riveting six-minute read, where Ruby enthusiasts will be poetically enlightened on avoiding this frosty fate. Next up, "Why Your Office Printer is a Sentient Being Bent on Chaos!" 🖨️💥

Day 11
Well, technically it’s been a few days.
I just finished populating the entire partner-contracts layer in our system. That means hundreds of users, each linked to the correct unit, with the proper supervisor, job title, and contract type. All of it reflected in a single, consistent data model.
Every user has a contract pointing to their supervisor — with cascading relations:
- regional managers report directly to the admin,
- unit managers report to regional managers,
- team leads report to unit managers,
- and finally, operators, assigned in pairs to each lead.
I’ve also updated every partner’s supervisor field, so hierarchy is fully navigable.
It took some time and required pulling data from multiple sources:
users, organizational units, and memberships, regional and structural hierarchy, and even address assignments.
Numbers:
Total test users & contracts: 1,408
Regional Coordinators: 16
Managers: 160
Team Leads: 640
Operators: 592

Peeps, what are the rules around using #fandom characters as #TestData for your #software ?
I see a lot of #AliceInWonderland in #XMPP docs, but that's public domain in the US. I've also seen mention J.R.R. Tolkien's works in #Perl 's "Camel Book" and once found #JonSnow on some random docs page—both the works about which I believe are still under #copyright . Do all those docs count as #FairUse or...?
ShadowTraffic is a great tool for creating realistic sample data for just about anything. Recently, I've been using it in my content at @warpstream to test out our software with other software in the ecosystem. It then occurred to me that I should get Michael Drogalis, the creator/founder, and create some content with him to show how it works and generate a couple of topics to illustrate it.

I'm excited to be heading back to an in-person conference! QA or the Highway is a week from today. There's still time to join us. Come hear me talk about #parallelization, #TestData, and #risk with our #SoftwareTesting #Automation and #DevOps. If you attend, please come say hi!
Idag har jag upptäckt och lekt med https://fejka.nu/
En gratis tjänst som genererar random(men korrekt uformade) personuppgifter, baserat på Skatteverkets öppna API(som är mer komplicerat att använda). Ja, personuppgifter som du kan använda för att testa system med, använda i en bok eller i en film, eller i något helt annat syfte som jag inte kommer på just nu. #OpenAPI #TestData

I seem to recall a recent article, I’ll look around. @NicolaLindgren do you know of anyone?

Looking for people who works or writes about test data management but I’m struggling to find any relevant. Mainly finding org.accounts but that isn’t helpful. Any ideas, I’m desperate @lisacrispin @TheyWrestleTest @TestPappy @maaretp @techgirl1908 #tdm #testdata

Well, if I’m going to have to test a layout fed from the DB, I might as well create some relevant records.
