FauxFactory generates random data for your automated tests easily!

There are times when you’re writing tests for your application when you need to pass random, non-specific data to the areas you are testing. For these scenarios when all you need is a random string, numbers, dates, times, email address, IP, etc, then FauxFactory can help!
