Generate test data in test classes sometimes consume a lot of time; therefore, developers tend to use uninformative data in test classes like ‘test test’, ‘test@test.test’. To generate the real data in the test class not only to make the data more informative but also the tests are correct in the business case.

I wrote this package for personal use quite some time ago; now, I packaged to share with you. I hope this will speed up your development process. Once the methods are generated, you can modify them for your own need.

Once you installed the app, navigate to Generate Data Factory App, you can find the Generate Datafactory tab.

How To Use?

  • Get the ID of the record you want to generate, then paste it into the text box then click Go.
  • The app will generate all the populated fields of the records; It also generates methods for lookup/master-detail. So Generate from child record will also give you the method to generate the parent
  • For Example, I put the contact Id : 0032x000002qw7NAAQ name Green Avi into the Text Box. Then I will have the below results.
