The use case is simulating multiple users who work in different branches across the country, so they have a different view of the search results since the data is associated with branches and/or location.
When the results are returned, there are multiple choices from a database that has 10M+ entries and the status of those entries change during the test as data is processed.
So the search results will change during the test, and this doesn’t allow for static CSV style data feeds.
All this is done to make the database provide the full range of data and not allow for the database memory cache to be populated with a small subset of data.
