Beanmother
A Java library for creating test data objects using YAML fixtures and the ObjectMother pattern.
What is Beanmother?
Beanmother is a Java library designed to streamline the creation of test data objects by using YAML fixtures. It helps developers set up complex object graphs for unit and integration tests without writing repetitive boilerplate code like factories or builders. By implementing the ObjectMother pattern, it provides a structured way to manage test data separately from test logic.
Java developers writing unit or integration tests who need to generate consistent and randomized test data for objects, especially in projects with complex domain models.
Developers choose Beanmother because it reduces test setup overhead, improves test maintainability through externalized YAML fixtures, and supports extensibility for custom data types and generation logic. Its integration with java-faker for realistic fake data and sequential number generation adds further convenience.
