To properly test or develop a WooCommerce site, you need a large dataset of fake products, orders, customers, and taxonomies. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to generate everything efficiently without crashing your site, use it for testing and troubleshooting, and delete it safely.
Hosted by Rodolfo Melogli
Session overview
In this class, we’ll dive into the process of generating test data in WooCommerce, focusing on creating products, orders, customers, and taxonomies without crashing your site. Whether you’re testing new features, troubleshooting issues, or simulating real-world store activity, having a large dataset is essential.
Generating test data efficiently allows you to replicate real scenarios, ensuring your store performs well under different conditions. We’ll explore various methods to automate data creation while keeping performance in check. Plus, we’ll cover best practices for deleting test data once you’re done.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear strategy for generating and managing test data in WooCommerce, helping you develop, test, and troubleshoot with confidence—without affecting your live store.
