====================

Robot Framework keyword library wrapper for
`Faker <https://github.com/joke2k/faker>`__.

This module allows easy use of Faker's random test data generation in
Robot Framework. I hate using static test data, because inevitably the
system under test evolves to pass the tests without necessarily solving
the root cause of bugs.

Any docstrings Faker provides are passed through to Robot Framework, so
they're available in RIDE and in keyword documentation generated via
libdoc.

For more information on Robot Framework please visit `the Robot
Framework homepage! <http://robotframework.org/>`__

Installation
------------

``pip install robotframework-faker``
