Bogus is a simple and sane fake data generator for .NET languages like C#, F# and VB.NET. Bogus is fundamentally a C# port of faker.js and inspired by FluentValidation's syntax sugar. Bogus will help you load databases, UI and apps with fake data for your testing needs. When Bogus updates locales from faker.js or issues bug fixes, sometimes deterministic sequences can change. Changes to deterministic outputs are usually highlighted in the release notes. Changes to deterministic outputs is also considered a breaking change. Bogus generally follows semantic versioning rules. For maximum stability for unit tests, stay within the same major versions of Bogus. Bogus can generate deterministic dates and times. However, generating deterministic dates and times requires setting up a local or global seed value, and setting up a global anchor source of time in Bogus.DataSets.Date.SystemClock.
