All the following challenges are focused on controlling and creating test data for us by automated checks.

## Automation Week

These challenges are part of [Automation Week](https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/what-is-automation-week/43663). Complete them for your chance to talk at Test.bash(); about your approach and experience.

## Application

The application for this challenge is the Restful Booker Platform. More about the application is available [here](https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/automation-week-test-applications/43664). You can also ask questions related to the application there.

# The Challenges:

Complete these challenges using any tooling of your choice.

1. Create a JSON file that could be used to mimic the response of the Report API. That JSON file should contain 1000 valid entries.
2. Create a library/package etc that can return random valid data for all the models in Restful Booker Platform. For example, if my automated checks I want to abstract all my data into the library so I can do things like user.username, user.password, user.telephone.

Tip. Random valid data is what we are after for challenge 2.

Here’s my rough and ready implementation of the test data challenge. [https://github.com/gwendiagram/automationweekdata/pull/1](https://github.com/gwendiagram/automationweekdata/pull/1)

I had _so_ much fun doing this, thanks for the chance. Great challenge!
