Test Generation Extensions

This document provides an overview of extensions that can be enabled for Pynguin’s test generation.

Fandango-Faker

The Fandango-Faker extensions helps to generate realistic string inputs for Pynguin. It requires installing the fandango-faker extra: poetry install --extras "fandango-faker". This extension implements additional string generators in addition to the default random generation:

• Faker: Semantically meaningful string generation using Faker

• Fandango: Syntactically correct string generation and mutation using Fandango with grammars in src/pynguin/resources/fans

• Fandango-Faker: A combination of the above two generators

The probability of each string generator can be weighted with the parameters specified in pynguin.configuration.StringStatementConfiguration.
