Smock-it Data Engine

Smock-it Data Engine is a built-in data library that powers the Smock-it CLI, enabling it to generate realistic, customizable mock data. Designed specifically to streamline testing and development, this engine acts as the core data source behind Smock-it, delivering intelligent, context-aware datasets without any external dependencies.

🔑 Key Features

Smart Field Mapping

The engine uses intelligent matching logic to map fuzzy or inconsistent field names (like “Cust Name” or “Acct Mgr”) to the most relevant data templates, so you don’t have to clean things up manually.

Realistic Address Mapping

Seamlessly connects countries with valid states, states with cities, and generates phone numbers with correct country codes — ideal for localized testing and international datasets.

Text & Number Generation

Generate realistic names, companies, industries, emails, currencies, and more, all based on context-aware patterns. Even your random data will feel authentic and relevant.

Relationship Modeling

Maintains consistent lookups across parent, child, and grandparent objects, preserving data integrity across up to two levels of related objects.

Logical Date Generation

Generates Start and End Dates with built-in logic, ensuring End Dates always follow Start Dates — perfect for scenarios that require realistic timelines.

No Duplicate Data

Smock-it generates 100% unique records with built-in validation, supporting up to 300K records under standard duplicate rules for reliable test results.

Real-Time Picklist Validation

Fetches and validates picklist values against your Salesforce org in real time, ensuring data accuracy and integrity.

High-Volume Generation

Quickly and efficiently generate unlimited records — ideal for sandbox seeding, load testing, and bulk data imports at any scale.

Zero API Dependency

Generates data locally using its internal engine with no external API calls, offering faster generation and no volume limits.
