Test Data Editor is now AnyWayData.com

I turned my hobby project Test Data Generator and Editor into an actual product AnyWayData.com. This involved setting up the domain and wrapping it in Docusaurus to make it easier to create documentation. I also started adding a tonne of Unit Tests and more refactoring to make it a production capable system.

At the moment it allows converting between: CSV, Tab, other delimited files, JSON, Gherkin Tables, Markdown Tables, HTML Tables, JavaScript. And Generating Test Data using Faker and Regex. I plan to expand it over time to cover more formats and make the GUI more user-friendly. But I've been actively using it to amend tables and sift through data and it's been working well. The Patreon posts have been documenting the progress and explaining various refactoring and TDD processes.

Random data in unit tests can be hard to justify, but using it for parallel automated execution seems fine.

HTML codng, and validation tooling.

Docs can help find bugs, they support SEO and they support users.

Just had a reminder today why I never fill in forms online, or use online editing tools that don't have some version capabilities.

One thing I find interesting in Software Testing is the gravitation towards or the aversion for the notion of 'technical'.

One thing I've noticed when working with automated execution is that I focus on Minimum Isolation Conditions.Particularly with Unit Testing.

All the refactoring that I've been doing on AnyWayData.com code pulled together yesterday evening. I was able to delete a tonne of code...

One of the benefits of TDD - Test Driven Development is that it helps you minimise dependencies for the classes.

I released a new version of AnyWayData.com which supports HTML import. This is how I handled it.

I was testing my test data editor and found a bug with the delimiter options when I used a custom multi-character delimiter.

How many times do you write code 'in a similar way' before you create an abstraction?

When I first started using React I wasn't a fan...

The hard part is not coming up with a name, it is finding a name that hasn't been taken yet.

Patreon have now fixed the Vimeo import bug. Here is the video.

Bugs, Bugs, Patreon Bugs

I put my Table Data Editor and Data Generator live as 'a product'.
