This Magento extension enables you to generate entities for tests :

• Generate Customers with fake data using FAKE library
• Generate orders for registred customers
  • orders uses randomly Checkmo and banktransfer payment methods
  • orders uses flaterate_flaterate shipping method
• Automatically assign created customers to website, store and group
• Based on payment methods, order invoice and shipment can created

• This extension uses the PHP library "Faker".

  @see : https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker

• IMPORTANT !!! To create orders, this extension uses "Check", "Bank Transfer" as payment methods and "Flatrate" as shipping method, please make sure those methods are enabled

1. First Install the PHP library FAKE :

• In your Magento root folder, dowload composer by running : curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

• Or, if you don't have curl :

php -r "eval('?>'.file_get_contents('https://getcomposer.org/installer'));"

• Or download it manually from : Composer Website

• Once it is downloaded, create (always in your root folder) a json file called composer.json and put in it the following content :

{
    "require":{
        "fzaninotto/faker" : "*"
    }
}

• Finally run :

  php composer.phar install

  This will install the latest version of Faker library in a folder named "vendor" in your root directory and will also generate the autoloader automatically

2. Install "Entity Generator" extension :

• Install it with modman
• Or download and install it manually

3. Refresh your magento cache :

Log in in your magento Backend and configure the extension
