Catalog management
You can use the data catalog in IBM® DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to browse and manage data generators used in test data creation. The catalog section provides access to built-in generators, allows you to create custom generators tailored to specific needs, and group them using custom categories.
You can access the data catalog for a project from tab in the Test Hub. The catalog includes:
- Basic Generators: You can select any generator from the available
generators listed in the Catalog tab of a data definition.
The generators in turn contain different options and fields that generate data
by using a built-in database in Test Hub. See Basic generators. Note: You must add at least one generator as a field in the data definition to generate test data.
- Custom Generators: Custom generators are modifications of the built-in generators that you modify any or all the fields in a generator to suit your specific requirements of your test data. The modified generator cannot be saved to the built-in generator and hence, you must save them as custom generators by providing a name to identify the custom generator. See Management of custom generators.
- Custom Categories: You can create a custom category in the catalog to contain the custom generators that you create. See Management of custom categories.
