Catalog management

You can use the data catalog in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) to browse and manage data generators used in test data creation. The catalog section provides access to built-in generators, allows you to create custom generators tailored to specific needs, and group them using custom categories.

You can access the data catalog for a project from Author > Catalog tab in the Test Hub. The catalog includes:

  • Basic Generators: You can select any generator from the available generators listed in the Catalog tab of a data definition. The generators in turn contain different options and fields that generate data by using a built-in database in Test Hub. See Basic generators.
    Note: You must add at least one generator as a field in the data definition to generate test data.
  • Custom Generators: Custom generators are modifications of the built-in generators that you modify any or all the fields in a generator to suit your specific requirements of your test data. The modified generator cannot be saved to the built-in generator and hence, you must save them as custom generators by providing a name to identify the custom generator. See Management of custom generators.
  • Custom Categories: You can create a custom category in the catalog to contain the custom generators that you create. See Management of custom categories.
