- Date Created: [[2020-09-30]] - Test Data Services is a company founded by [[Paul McLean]]. It allows a load tester to access up to 2.5 million fully-fledged identities, including ABNs, email, and [[MFA]] through email. - Source: [[Easy Test Automation of Email and MFA | LinkedIn]] - ### Requirements for usage - Whitelist transmission of emails to `testdata.email`. - If using ABN validation, point the ABN validation endpoint from production (abr.business.gov.au via `GET /AbrXmlSearch.asmx/ABRSearchByABN?searchString=string&includeHistoricalDetails=string&authenticationGuid=string` to api.testdataservices.com.au via `GET v0001F_CheckABN?ABN=abn`. - TDS can also be used to perform [[MFA]] via email, all from the API. Getting current and next MFA tokens is even exposed as an endpoint. Ex: ` https://api.testdataservices.com.au/[email protected]&SubscriptionKey=34feff14fd463d26a40a` - Test Data Services vs [[faker.js]]: TDS has full-fledged fake identities, so each piece of information can be traced back and verified. -
