[GitHub] commons-lang pull request: random length strings within range
GitHub user xenoterracide opened a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/100
random length strings within range
at a high level, I have added `randomGraph( int count )` and `randomPrint( int count )` which map to their corresponding regular expression classes. These are useful if you're needing to test arbitrary user input in various kinds of text fields. `randomAscii` was not sufficient due to it's inclusion of the DEL character.
I have also added variants of random Ascii, graph, print, alphabetic, alphanumeric, and numeric that have `minimumInclusive` and `maximumInclusive` parameters. These can be used to create string of random length to ensure more random distribution of data when testing. The will also ensure that developers who use them are less likely to forget testing variable lengths within the bounds.
You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running:
$ git pull https://github.com/xenoterracide/commons-lang topic/random-lenth-strings-within-range
Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at:

add randomGraph and randomPrint which match corresponding Posix Regular expression
These are useful over randomAscii because they do not contain the DEL character but otherwise contrain the full range of ASCII printing characters, and optionally include whitespace. This is useful for testing user defined inputs where characters like spaces, angle brakets, semicolons, dashes, etc, can cause issues.

add a series of random statics that take an inclusive min and max range
these methods are useful for testing bound assumption issues
