A new developer follows the instructions on https://zamboni.readthedocs.org/ to create a new development configuration. He creates an admin user account and runs a command that creates a variety of apps, some of them owned by his new account, some not.
For generating apps from a spec file see docs for [http://zamboni.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/install-zamboni/installation.html#loading-test-apps Loading Test Apps].
For editing fake app descriptions, see [http://zamboni.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/fake-app-spec.html Fake App Spec].

== Engineering Considerations ==
A Zamboni developer needs to create apps in a specific state with specific properties, and so runs a command with flags/options specifying what's needed.
* app generation code currently doesn't generate video.
 
* generation of apps for feed is done separately from rest of app specification.
=== marketplace-dev deployment ===
* no current way to specify particular locales/regions.
When Zamboni is deployed in a non-production role, a variety of different apps are created with status and data appropriate for every use case that QA needs to test.
* no current way to specify content ratings.
 
* we might want to add an admin page for uploading a spec file so QA can generate specific apps they need easily.
== Next Steps ==
1. save altdev data set because we know it exhibits {{Bugzilla|1101581}} that has been elusive on -dev.
# ashort starts writing the Complete Dev JSON file, but don't finish it. Then kraj can keep going with it.
# Once we have this Complete Dev JSON file, we can put it on altdev for full QA.

Overview

Tools and libraries for generating data are needed to exercise every part of our code without unnecessary storing/sharing of data from production.

App Types lists the kinds of apps being generated.

Docs

For generating apps from a spec file see docs for Loading Test Apps. For editing fake app descriptions, see Fake App Spec.

Engineering Considerations

  • app generation code currently doesn't generate video.
  • generation of apps for feed is done separately from rest of app specification.
  • no current way to specify particular locales/regions.
  • no current way to specify content ratings.
  • we might want to add an admin page for uploading a spec file so QA can generate specific apps they need easily.
