Welcome to django-autofixture’s documentation!

This app aims to provide a simple way of loading masses of randomly generated test data into your development database. You can use a management command to load test data through command line.

It is named autofixture because of the similarity of how I mainly used django’s fixtures. Usually you add test data through the admin to see how your site looks with non static pages. You export data by using dumpdata to send it to your colleagues or to preserve it before you make a manage.py reset app and so on. Your site gets more and more complex and adding test data gets more and more annoying.

This is the usecase where autofixtures should help you to save time that can actually be spent on hacking.
