  • Commit Message: test(features): use Faker library to generate realistic and varied test data
  • Milestone: Backlog
  • Parent Epic: #3204

Summary

Our tests currently use a limited set of hardcoded data, which may not cover all edge cases. We should use data generation libraries, such as Faker, to create more realistic and varied test data. This will help to make our tests more robust and to uncover potential issues that we might otherwise miss.

Background

Data generation libraries are a powerful tool for creating a wide range of test data, including names, addresses, dates, and other common data types. This can help to make your tests more realistic and to cover a wider range of scenarios.

Subtasks

  • Identify all tests that could benefit from using a data generation library (e.g., Faker)
  • Add Faker (or equivalent) as a test/dev dependency via hatch
  • For each identified test, update the test to use the data generation library to create test data
  • Ensure generated data is realistic and covers a wide range of scenarios (names, addresses, dates, IDs, etc.)
  • Verify all updated tests still pass (nox -e unit_tests and nox -e integration_tests)
  • Ensure coverage remains at or above 97% (nox -e coverage_report)

Definition of Done

  • All relevant tests have been updated to use a data generation library
  • The tests are still passing after the changes
  • The test data is now more realistic and covers a wider range of scenarios
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.7.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
