Create and manage test data with factory patterns, fixture strategies, data anonymization, and synthetic data generation. Covers Fishery (TypeScript), FactoryBot (Ruby), Factory Boy (Python), database seeding, cleanup strategies, and GDPR-compliant data handling. Use when: "test data," "fixtures," "factories," "seed data," "synthetic data," "test database," "data anonymization." Not for: migration/integrity testing of the DB itself — use database-testing; environment provisioning and database…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<objective> Create, maintain, and clean up test data that is deterministic, isolated, realistic, and safe. Good test data is the foundation of reliable tests -- without it, tests are either flaky (shared mutable state), unrealistic (hardcoded nonsense values), or dangerous (production PII in test environments). This skill delivers factories, fixtures, idempotent seeds, anonymization pipelines, and cleanup strategies that survive parallel execution. </objective> --- ## Quick Route | Situation | Go to | |-----------|-------| | Need fresh entity data with per-test overrides | Factory Patterns → `references/factories.md` | | Mocking an API response or golden file | Fixture Strategies → `references/factories.md` | | Copying production data anywhere non-prod | Data Anonymization | | Populating a test DB / reference data idempotently | Database Seeding → `references/seeding-and-synthetic.md` | | Cleaning up after tests / parallel isolation | Cleanup Strategies → `references/seeding-and-synthetic.md` | | Generating edge cases and boundary values | Synthetic Data → `references/seeding-and-synthetic.md` | --- ## Discovery Questions …

How to install
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/test-data-management@sha256:f279e04efafe3050The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
