OpenCode : How to Generate Realistic Mock Data Using External Libraries

[Kanishkrawatt]

Overview

We need a use-case article demonstrating how to leverage external libraries like Faker to make API testing more robust. The guide should show how generating realistic, dynamic data (such as names, addresses, or emails) prevents "stale" test results and better simulates real-world user behavior compared to static hardcoded values.
