Catalogue

User-friendly catalogue of test data available immediately

Structure​

The Catalogue is organised in a structure as a tree:

  • Environments
  • Suppliers
  • Items

Each environment is unique, so you may find same or different suppliers there. And those suppliers may generate different data or in a different way.

Autoconfiguration​

The catalogue is constantly autoconfigured as generators connect to Sixpack. If a generator disconnects, it will remain in the catalogue for several days but then Sixpack will consider it is discontinued and will remove it automatically.

Each generator declares how should look like the input and the data provided as reference of the datasets generated. Again all this is automatically configured immediately when the generator connects to the platform. So when a change is needed it happens immediately when the modified generator is started.

Item configurator​

Each item may have inputs that are presented as a form to fill. By default, any input parameter is optional and the generator is responsible to use some random value in that case.

Stock indicators​

Next to each navigation level, numbers indicate how many datasets are pre-generated and available for immediate use.

Online status​

Next to each supplier an online status icon allows to see whether the generator is alive now or not. When going offline there might be a small delay of up to 30s to propagate this to the indicator. When getting online, the propagation is immediate.
