Some properties use other properties to help define their values. For example, an object that has first name and last name uses these values to help populate an email property. The source of these values is from a data set stored as an embedded resource. This resource has 1000 entries.

The issue is that a single record from that dataset is used. There may be 1000 unique first names and 1000 unique last names. The single record means that there are only 1000 unique combinations that could be determined rather than 1000 x 1000.

This applies to many of the other property values as well. A better job could be done by providing better combinations of predefined random values. Primarily this would be done by splitting up groups of information:

  • First names
  • Last names
  • Domains
  • Company names
  • Locations (Country + State + City + PostCode)
