Test Data Challenges
We Eliminate
Creating Test Data Takes Hours
Often leading to delays in testing cycles and extending project timelines.
Reusing Same Data within the Same Environment
Risking test reliability and potentially missing critical edge cases.
Test Data Setup for Complex Relationships is Exhausting
Wasting resources on manually setting up complex data models.
Running Out of Realistic Data Ideas

Smock-It is a command-line tool that generates high-quality synthetic test data for Salesforce. It’s designed for SF QA professionals, SF QA Automation Engineers, Salesforce Developers (sample data for unit testing), and Salesforce admins who need realistic test data to validate functionality, accuracy, and workflows without risking customer data privacy.
Q. Why should I use synthetic data instead of real data for testing?
Synthetic data allows you to conduct thorough testing without exposing sensitive customer information. While real data can pose privacy risks and violate regulations like GDPR and CCPA, synthetic Salesforce test data offers a secure, compliant alternative.
Q. How to generate fake test data in bulk for Salesforce?
Using Smock-It’s bulk data generator capability, you can generate sample data for unit testing, stress testing, and more by creating customizable data templates. Smock-It is compatible with Salesforce objects and fields provides you an efficient way to populate your test environments.
Q. How does Smock-It generate data that matches my Salesforce schema?
Smock-It lets you customize templates that define the specific objects, fields, relationships, and data formats needed. It integrates seamlessly with your Salesforce environment, ensuring the generated Salesforce test data aligns with custom objects, workflows, and multi-level relationships in your schema.
Q. Do I need coding experience to use Smock-It?
No advanced coding experience is required to use Smock-It. Its command-line interface uses straightforward commands that are easy to learn and customize. Once you set up a template, generating test data becomes a quick, automated process.
Q. What are the steps to generate synthetic test data for Salesforce testing?
Here’s a higher-level overview of how you can create synthetic test data in Salesforce:
Set up the environment by installing the required tools (Salesforce CLI, Node.js) and configuring environment variables.
Install the Smock-It plugin using the Salesforce CLI.
Initialize a data template to define the structure and requirements for your test data.
Customize the template by adding objects, specifying fields, and defining record counts.
