Test Data Generation Framework

This might be worth a spike to evaluate: http://www.canoo.com/blog/2011/09/26/testdata-generation/

So how does it work? Simple, its entry point is a method interceptor that you can wrap around anything you want, it doesn’t even have to be an implementation. So that DAO you want to use, but the database is still empty, just let the framework step into place and all the methods return the data that you want.
