Why to use Om?
-
Using Om
user can generate different type of data simply by entering the count. e.g.
The user can generate a data having length equal to 10 by simply entering 10.
The data can consist of different character types like uppercase, lowercase,
numerical, others or any combination of the above four, simply by providing
appropriate option. When we need to test an application by entering different
data at different time, generating data using Om can save a lot of time. The
data generated can be copied anywhere using Ctrl + v. Moreover, it can be
extremely useful for generating stressfull text data for field testing &
random testing as explained below.

When
testing a field for maximum no. of characters that can be entered in it, the
user needs to enter the maximum no. of characters supported by the text field
in it. It is a great trouble to count the no. of characters. The editors
available today have solved this problem to a great extent. But still the user
has to enter the characters himself in the editor which is a quite troublesome
when the Boundary value (i.e. the maximum no. of characters) is large (e.g.
100, 255, 500). I have seen few text fields supporting 4000 characters in one of the applications I tested. Om generates the no. of characters equal to the count entered
by the user which can be copied anywhere using Ctrl + v.

In Random
testing the user needs to check the application under test by entering some
random data from the keyboard. It is quite possible that the data entered by
the user may not be truly random. Om can generate characters randomly
according to the count entered by the user which can be copied anywhere using
Ctrl + v.
