Answer 1

http://www.andygibson.net/blog/article/generate-test-data-with-datafactory/ How to use:

1. Add it in your pom.xml

   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.fluttercode.datafactory</groupId>
       <artifactId>datafactory</artifactId>
       <version>0.8</version>
       <type>jar</type>
   </dependency>
   

2. Test it...

   public class Main {
   
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       DataFactory df = new DataFactory();
       for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {          
           String name = df.getFirstName() + " "+ df.getLastName();
           System.out.println(name);
       }
     }
    }
   

Output :

Erica Larsen
Ryan Levine

Try jFairy. This is new project in early stage.

Fairy fairy = Fairy.create();
Person person = fairy.person();

System.out.println(person.fullName());            // Chloe Barker
System.out.println(person.email());               // barker@yahoo.com
System.out.println(person.telephoneNumber());     // 690-950-802

Company company = fairy.company();
System.out.println(company.name());          // Robuten Associates
System.out.println(company.url());           // http://www.robuteniaassociates.com

Person salesman = fairy.person(withCompany(company));
System.out.println(salesman.fullName());     // Juan Camacho
System.out.println(salesman.companyEmail()); // juan.camacho@robuteniaassociates.com
