1. Are Generators Operating System specific?

  • Generators and receivers are not OS-specific—they are designed to work across all major operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.

2. Can I combine multiple Generators for complex test data generation?

  • You can link multiple Generators to an Attribute to produce complex data patterns. 
  • The last linked Generator will generate the actual output. 

3. Can I assign a Generator to multiple Attributes at once? 

  • Yes! GenRocket offers a feature that assigns a Generator to more than one Attribute at a time. To learn more, please click here. 

4. Can Generators enforce data type and size constraints?

  • Yes, Generators can enforce data type and size constraints to ensure the generated data adheres to specified formats and limits. 
  • The Enforce Type/Limit option can automatically apply these constraints, helping to maintain data integrity and compatibility with target systems. 

5. How can I generate unique test data on every run? 

  • GenRocket offers a Scenario stateful option that allows you to generate data uniquely each time.
  • For more information, please refer to Managing Scenario State.

6. How do Query Generators enhance test data generation?

  • Query Generators allow you to blend real data from databases or files with synthetically generated data. 
  • During test data generation, they can query columns, tables, or lists within specified files or databases. 
  • They are beneficial for creating data subsets or combining real and synthetic data for comprehensive testing. 

7. Can Generators be copied between Attributes?

  • Yes, GenRocket allows you to copy Generators and their configurations between Attributes using two methods:
    • Simple Copy - Directly copies a Generator from one Attribute to another.
    • Pattern Copy - Copies a Generator to multiple Attributes based on a naming pattern.

8. How can I search for specific Generators within my project?

  • GenRocket offers a Generator Search feature that allows users to locate Generators assigned to Domains and Attributes within a selected Project or Project Version. 
  • You can use it to manage and review Generator assignments across complex projects.

9. How do I ensure special characters appear correctly in the generated output?


10. How do I ensure the generated US address information matches (city, state, county, zip code)? 

  • To align city, country, and zip code, you can use the USCityGen and USCityZipCodeMapGen Generators.  

11. How do I assign a column value to another column in the same table? 

  • You can do this with the ReferenceGen Generator.
  • Please ensure that the referenced Attribute precedes the Attribute it is being referenced by within the list of Attributes in the Domain Dashboard. 

 

12. How can I read the record count from a CSV file and use it to set the Domain loopCount? 

  • You can use the FileRowCountGen to read the number of rows in a file.
  • Then, reference the FileRowCountGen in a LoopSetGen to set the Domain loopCount.
