[jira] [Commented] (LANG-1063) Add RandomEnumUtils to operate with random instances of enum types

["Duncan Jones (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1063?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14206383#comment-14206383 ] 

Duncan Jones commented on LANG-1063:
------------------------------------

I'm not wholly convinced by this addition. In your described use case, this only solves part of the problem. Perhaps a fuzzy logic library would be a better way of making random objects.

If we do go ahead and commit this, it probably should reside in {{RandomUtils}} rather than being a separate class.

> bq. Added a utility class that returns a random instance of an Enum of a certain provided type. This, I consider, is useful when creating test data instances with random values for its fields, among which are most likely some Enum types as well.
