Hi there! I'm in the process of deciding between various libraries for test data generation. The obvious popular ones that have popped up are factory girl and machinist.
I found this post in the intertoobs: http://toolmantim.com/thoughts/fixtureless_datas_with_machinist_and_sham Which has brought me here to ask what the current opinions of these alternative approaches are! As far as I can see before I start using them, both libraries do roughly the same thing, with roughly the same features, but different syntax. I understand that factory girl can be coaxed into using machinist syntax though, so: Does anyone know if there any significant differences between the two libraries apart from syntax that make one stand out from the other? E.g. - speed - robustness/scalability as a project's complexity increases significantly (not in terms of speed, but in terms of clarity/DRYness/ code semantics) Thanks for your help!
