Mimesis is an open source high-performance fake data generator for Python, able to provide data for various purposes in various languages. It's currently the fastest fake data generator for Python, and supports many different data providers that can produce data related to people, food, transportation, internet and many more. Mimesis is really easy to use, with everything you need just an import away. Simply import an object, called a Provider, which represents the type of data you need. Mimesis currently supports 34 different locales, the specification of which when creating providers will return data that is appropriate for the language or country associated with that locale.

benerator is a framework for creating realistic and valid high-volume test data, used for load and performance testing and showcase setup. Data is generated from an easily configurable metadata model and exported to databases, XML, CSV or flat files.

this tool for test-data-generation receives an 'excel-sheet' as primary input. second important paramter is the 'number of test-records to produce'. The excel-data will be reused as long data is needed. This tool is hightly paramatrisazable by the use of 'xsl scripts'. data can be created, updated, modified and finally exported in a format of your choice Main Fuctions: (1) Generates Testdata (excel, xsl, xml) (2) Exports generated testdata in multiple formats (csv, excel, html, sql-insert, individual by xsl extension) (3) Collect all processed data in excel-files (4) plus: Xsl Executor, which let's you run xsl-scripts independently (5) plus: User Interface

DATA Gen™ Test Data Generator offers facilities to automate the task of creating test data for new or existing data bases. It helps lower the programming effort required, while reducing manual test data generation errors and the ripple effect that they cause on production systems, users and maintenance.

DBFeeder is a great tool to generate synthetic testdata for Oracle Databases and it is ideal for companies who wants to outsource development. Thanks to his original approach, data can be highly customizable and it even fits primary and foreign keys constraints of tables.

JRandO is a test data generator or better test object generator framework. It can be used in JUnit tests or in performance test (for e.g. using JMeter). It may also be useful in anonymization of data or in a simulation environment.

Sample code for JRandO project. (testdata generator, test data generator, test object generator, simulation)
