Test Data Generator

Is the Test Data Generator a scriptable object at all; or, failing that, is there any way to persist a definition of data to generate?

I was about half-way through a very large test data definition when I realized that I couldn't seem to persist what I was entering and that, if I needed to correct anything after generating the data, I'd have to re-enter all the info (43 field definitions). Sure enough, afterwards I needed to make a small change.

It would be a wonderful thing if I could create a generated data definition in code and re-use it on demand.

    Hi Robert,


    There is no way to access Data Generator from script. Do you see any other applications of this functionality, except for the task you mentioned? I am asking this, because I can register this request, but we need to understand exactly what the functionality is needed for.

    As for now, it is possible to solve such a problem by exporting the generated data to an Excel file. You will be able to edit columns by means of Excel. I have registered your request to have the ability to re-generate column data by using the Data Generator Wizard.
