If you need to create massive amounts of randomized testing data, check out my module: Picka.
It runs harmoniously with Selenium, HTTPlib, Mechanism and more. When you combine the two, it allows you to create an infinite number of real-data driven tests – in mere moments.
Loaded with real user information, such as names, cities, states, dates, phone numbers and more – Picka makes data generation a breeze and your selenium tests much more comprehensive.
picka + MySQL example:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import MySQLdb, unittest, picka
class Connector(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = "127.0.0.1",
user = "root",
db = "users")
self.cursor = self.conn.cursor()
def tearDown(self):
self.cursor.close()
self.conn.close()
class Tests(Connector):
def test_get_flagged_comments(self):
for x in xrange(50):
first = picka.male_name()
last = picka.last_name()
p_age = picka.age()
self.cursor.execute(
"insert into user_data (first_name, last_name, age) VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%s')"
% (first, last, p_age)
)
unittest.main()
picka + Selenium example:
from selenium import selenium
import unittest, picka
SERVER_SETUP = ['localhost', 5556, '*firefox', 'http://google.com/']
class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.selenium = selenium(*SERVER_SETUP)
self.selenium.start()
def tearDown(self):
self.selenium.stop()
def test_google_box(self):
"""test_google_box"""
self.selenium.open("/")
self.selenium.type("q", picka.male_name())
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
