Re: Moving demo data to their appropriate components
Sounds great to me! Not only will that improve tests, it will make a clear illustration of dependency direction (higher level to lower level). -Adrian On 8/21/2011 2:39 PM, Scott Gray wrote: What does everyone think about moving the ton of demo data living in ecommerce out to the components where the entities are defined?

Re: Moving demo data to their appropriate components
Yes that sounds also logical to me. I was surprised to find them there and then get used to. I must say having them in one place is also convenient, maybe lazy...

Re: Moving demo data to their appropriate components
I think a model of the data is where the entities are defined, is best.
