Rails Testing Faker Gem Tutorial 2021

In this rails testing tutorial we will discuss the Faker gem. We walk through the entire process of installing and using the Faker gem in our AWS Rails application.

Good, realistic data makes it much easier to get a better sense of look, feel, function of a Ruby on Rails application. Faker generated data also dramatically improves the quality of your tests by helping to covering edge cases related top input lengths or formats. The Faker gem saves time by generating realistic fake data for you. For example, you could generate fake phone numbers, user with an email address that belong to a fake business with an address. All of this takes time, essentially Faker reduces this time by providing this data in formats that make testing validations easier.
