Why Using a Test Data Generator

Testing applications requires to have access to realistic test data at will. Using extraction based solutions for producing test data implies numerous difficulties such as having access to enough production data, doing data masking for sensitive data without loosing realism and doing some reverse engineering to locate and demultiply the data required for your test cases.
