JSON Test Case Generator

You can use the JSON Test Case Generator to generate many JSON files in a controlled manner

How to Use

Initializing the JSON File

To initialize all the variablesto the Application, the JSON File needs to be prepped.

You can initialize the variables by remapping then in the pattern $variableName$. For Example,

JSON Example

In the above example there are 6 variables initialized which are marked in bright green.

Note : For all Data Types(string, int, float, bool or null), enclose the mapped variables inside double quotes as shown in the above example.

You can also concatenate variables together or with other strings as shown in the below example.

You can select 2 paths from here.

Uploading the JSON File

Click on the Select File Button and select the JSON template file that you created in your previous step.

Process Variables

This is the step where you have to define the test cases that needs to be created. I will use the below example

I am going to use this json file which has 6 variables

example

{
  "_id": "$id$",
  "index": 0,
  "guid": "$guid$",
  "isActive": true,
  "balance": "$balance$",
  "age": 31,
  "eyeColor": "$eyeColor$",
  "name": "$name$",
  "gender": "female",
  "company": "$company$",
  "email": "jodychen@electonic.com",
  "phone": "+1 (915) 545-2447",
  "friends": [
    {
      "id": 0,
      "name": "Myers Chandler"
    }
  ],
  "greeting": "Hello, Jody Chen! You have 3 unread messages.",
  "favoriteFruit": "banana"
}

Generating All Permutations

It will generate all the Permutations of the variation of all the inputs provided.

For Example, assume there are 4 variables having 8, 8, 7, 8 variations respectively. Then it will create.

8 x 8 x 7 x 8 = 3584 different variations

So the number of variations can increase very fast.

As Stan Lee (May he Rest in Peace) in his Spider Man Comics once Said With great power comes great responsibility, you should use this method cautiously.

For My example.

Generating Using Table

Here we can generate the variations in a controlled manner

For Example, Table Generation

In the above example only 2 files will be created.

Datatypes in Variables

You can change the datatype of each cell from the dropdown as shown below

Datatypes

DataType Input Output in JSON
str hello 
  "someKey": "hello"|"125"|"true"
125
125.68
true
null
int hello 
  "someKey": "hello"
125 
  "someKey": 125 | 125.68
125.68
true 
  "someKey": "true" | "null"
null
float hello 
  "someKey": "hello"
125 
  "someKey": 125.0 | 125.68
125.68
true 
  "someKey": "true" | "null"
null
bool hello 
  "someKey": "hello" | "125" | "null"
125
125.68
null
true 
  "someKey": true | false
null hello 
  "someKey": "hello"|"125"|"true"
125
125.68
true
null 
  "someKey": null

Naming the Files

This is used to name the JSON files that will be generated. You can use the following for name generation.

For My example.

SetNames

This will generate the files as

Sample_<company>_<name>_1

Sample_<company>_<name>_2

…

and so on..

Preview

Before generating all the variations you can preview results in the preview Page as shown here.

For My example.

PreviewPage

Generate

In the Generate Page, click on the Output Locations Button to select the Output folder. After Selecting the output folder. the Generate Button will be active. Click on it to start generation.

Note : If the folder already has files with the same name as the one you are generating, It will overwrite those files.

Note : If 2 or more files which are generated has the same names, Then only the last occurance will be generated. (As of Now). Refer Features List

For My example.

Generated

Output Folder

For My example.

Output Folder

Note that the first file is a report file. Go to this section for further details

Report

A report JSON file will be generated in the output folder.

For My example.

{
    "count": 48,
    "output_json_file_array": [
        {
            "should_be_generated": true,
            "file_name": "Sample_ABC_Ken Adams_1",
            "variable_dictionary": {
                "\"$balance$\"": "31415.9265",
                "$company$": "ABC",
                "$eyeColor$": "black",
                "$guid$": "416f23ed-36d9-45cb-be2f-4c593f395cd4",
                "$id$": "1001",
                "$name$": "Ken Adams"
            }
        },
        {
            "should_be_generated": true,
            "file_name": "Sample_ABC_Regina Phalange_1",
            "variable_dictionary": {
                "\"$balance$\"": "31415.9265",
                "$company$": "ABC",
                "$eyeColor$": "black",
                "$guid$": "416f23ed-36d9-45cb-be2f-4c593f395cd4",
                "$id$": "1001",
                "$name$": "Regina Phalange"
            }
        },
        {},
        {}
        ...
    ]
}

Now You can go back to generate a few more or Restart it completely
