Mock Data Generation

Number of APIs: 1

About this collection

Qodex provides dynamic variables that use the Faker library to generate sample data, including random names, addresses, and email addresses.

This collection demonstrates the use of dynamic variables to create randomized mock data. The examples in this collection utilize various data types and showcase how dynamic variables can help simulate real-world data within your API testing environment.

Using this collection

Step 1: Send requests

Select a request from the collection, review the request parameters and pre-request scripts, then hit Send to execute the request.

Step 2: Review the Body and Pre-request Script tabs

Understand how dynamic variables are used to generate mock data. Dynamic variables can be used in the request URL and Body, or even as part of a Pre-Request or Test script for more complex use cases (see Create mock blog post request).

Step 3: Customize (optional)

Customize dynamic variables to better suit your specific use case. Save the changes, and execute the requests.

Step 4: Analyze responses

Examine the response body to see the generated mock data. Note that the responses will be different each time you send the request, as the dynamic variables ensure randomized data generation.

Enjoy testing with diverse and dynamic data!
