Model Generator is a Python module for generating arbitrary and random model data for testing. Model elements have a randomly generated UUID and a name where the name is just two random words from the word list.
Names are guaranteed to be unique. This may change in the future, but the intent is to generate a complex model consisting of relatively simple elements.
Elements can be of type Block, Link, Package, or Model and are defined as follows:
- Element: A base class that all other elements extend.
- Block: This simplest extension of Element, it adds no fields.
- Link: Adds source and target fields to the base class. Used to link to other elements together and represent relationships.
- Package: Adds a contains field. Used to store other elements and define the model tree.
- Model: A special type of package, it is the top-most package with no parent.
To run the generator, run python -m src <H> <W> from the project root
directory. Where <H> is the maximum height of the tree and <W> is the width.
Width is the number of children under each package which are each randomly
chosen to be either a block, link, or package.
