Features

Fixture Monkey generates an arbitrary value to avoid edge case that could cause the problem. It may be useful in some situations, but it is useless in most situations. Especially it is embarrassing for beginners, who expect the readable and valid data.

Fixture Monkey provides a new Plugin SimpleValueJqwikPlugin for beginners, who expect the readable and valid value. It generates a readable and short String and narrow range of Number and Date value.

It is compatible with other plugins such as JavaxValidationPlugin, JakartaValidationPlugin. It applies XXValidationPlugin if the property has the validation annotation, applies SimpleValueJqwikPlugin without it.

If you use the custom Plugin to constrain the generated value, the latter plugin would work.

For beginners who want to restrict the generated value, looking at the code of SimpleValueJqwikPlugin is a good start.
