CSV Test Data Generator for Automation & QA Testing
CSV test data is structured data in comma-separated format. It's widely used by QA engineers for data-driven testing, bulk database imports, and feeding test data into automation scripts.
If you're running parameterized tests in TestNG, reading test data in Selenium, or populating a test database, CSV files are the easiest way to handle multiple test cases at once.
Why CSV Test Data is Useful for Automation & Data-Driven Tests
CSV files are simple. They're readable by Excel, Google Sheets, and every programming language. Most test frameworks (JUnit, TestNG, pytest, Mocha) support reading CSV files natively.
When you need to run the same test with 50 different inputs, you don't want to hardcode them. You want a CSV file where each row is a test case. Your automation framework reads the CSV and runs each row as a separate test.
CSV is also the standard format for database bulk imports. If you need to seed a test database with 10,000 fake users, CSV is the fastest way. Most databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server) have direct CSV import commands.
Writing CSV test data manually is tedious. A generator creates hundreds or thousands of rows in seconds, with realistic values that look like production data.
Generate CSV Test Data Using TestDataCraft
TestDataCraft generates CSV test data directly in your browser. No account signup. No file uploads. All processing happens locally, so your data stays private.
Features:
- Choose from 50+ data types (name, email, phone, address, date, UUID, etc.)
- Generate 1 to 100,000 rows
- Select India or USA formats for phone numbers and addresses
- Download as CSV file or copy to clipboard
- Preview data before downloading
- No rate limits or API restrictions
The tool uses checkbox-based selection. Pick your fields, set the number of rows, choose CSV as the output format, and click Generate. The CSV appears immediately in the preview panel.
How to Generate CSV Test Data (Step-by-Step)
- Open TestDataCraft — Go to the tool in your browser
- Select data fields — Check the fields you need (Full Name, Email, Phone, etc.)
- Set row count — Enter how many rows you want (e.g., 100)
- Choose CSV format — Click the CSV button in the output format selector
- Generate data — Click the Generate button
- Download or copy — Use the Download CSV button or copy the data to clipboard
The CSV file is ready to use immediately. Open it in Excel, import it into your database, or read it in your test scripts.
Common Use Cases for CSV Test Data
- Data-driven testing (TestNG DataProvider, pytest parametrize)
- Bulk database imports for test environments
- Reading test data in Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress scripts
- Excel or Google Sheets for manual test case tracking
- Load testing with realistic user data
- Populating CRM or ERP test systems
- Creating sample datasets for demos or training
- Testing CSV import features in your application
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this free?
Yes. TestDataCraft is free to use with no signup required. You can generate as many CSV files as you need. A lifetime license (₹149) is available for users who want priority support and to support the project.
Can it be used for automation testing?
Yes. The generated CSV can be directly used in automation frameworks. Most frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, REST Assured, pytest, TestNG) can read CSV files. You can download the CSV and reference it in your test code.
Is the data realistic?
Yes. TestDataCraft uses Faker.js-powered generation to create realistic names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses. The data looks real but is completely fake. Phone numbers follow proper formats (10 digits for India, etc.), and emails have valid structure.
No signup required. Free to use.
