A colleague tester pointed me recently about the importance of test data management and the recently offered site towards test data management: Testdata Management.
Behind one of his links there was a free test data generator: GenerateData.com
GenerateData.com offering a free test data generation tool with several functions to generate "standard" test data in several formats: HTML, MS Excel, XML, CSV and SQL.
Next to generate data online you have to ability to download the script which is under GNU open Source License.
I have to admit that this tool is easy to use although I think you have still to manipulate the data for your own use.
This triggers me to search for more opensource generation tools related to testing. A new world opened in front of my eyes, :)
Here some other open source tools:
dbmonster : can be used for DB tuning
benerator: performing load and performance tests
Database populator : Examines the table and populate it according to it (note: downloadable version is from 2004)
These seems somehow promising, perhaps in the nearby future I can try them sometimes.
