Bogus
Fake data generator for the .NET languages C#, F# and VB.NET that fills objects with locale-aware values for tests and seeded databases.
Bogus is a fake data generator for the .NET languages C#, F# and VB.NET. It is a C# port of faker.js, and its locale data is re-bundled from faker.js. The library is installed from NuGet and runs inside .NET code, where it fills objects with generated values for tests and for seeding databases.
