It's QA Time in my world now... Just finished implementing a
TeamSite/ASP.NET Intranet with a nice framework that allows TS to
really only manage the content and metadata as XML and ASP.NET manages
the presentation layer. The data access layer is defined by some XML
that generates not only .NET access classes (using XML deserialization,
of course), but helps us build all of the DCTs for the content entry.
Anyway,
it's time to stress test this thing, and we're going to need a lot of
data to really simulate what Intranets and Corportate websites can get
like after a couple of years of abuse... That's more than my stubby
fingers can type, and I dare say more than I can even copy/paste from
www.lipsum.com.
I figured it was high time to just make a library... Since they kindly
provide an XML feed, it's super easy to just generate a request and
pull the text out of it. I took it a small step further and blew out
the API about as fully as possible.
Anyway, generating random content is now as easy as:
LipsumResponse r = Generator.Get(new LipsumRequest(20, LipsumRequest.RequestType.WORDS, false));
Console.WriteLine(r.Lipsum);
Here's links to the source, binaries, and documentation:
