Ohhh thats encouraging! Was it also for mock data generation or did you make it handle other annoying tasks?

The thing I wrote was just test automation that executed in the browser, file system, and shell commands. There are excellent tools that do this, but they are all big. I only wrote my own because I wanted something that executed faster and can send test commands to other computers. Any mock data generated was generated as result of the test interactions executed.

Yeah ok that sounds really useful! Especially the sending test commands to other computers.
