Data Generation

Definition

Data generation is the implementation task during which non-content data components are generated.

Objectives

The typical objectives of data generation are to:

• Produce new high-quality data components from scratch for integration into an application.

Preconditions

Data generation can typically begin when the following preconditions hold:

• The relevant requirements are specified.
• The relevant architecture has been documented.

Completion Criteria

Data generation is typically complete when the following postconditions hold:

• All data components have been produced and are ready for integration.
