Thanks - there seem to be a lot of tools to generate test data in various ways, 
such as <https://github.com/dnerdy/factory_boy>.

However I am still puzzled by the question at a slightly higher level, about 
strategy - is it better to create a large collection of data once, and to test 
the behviour of the system against the various combinations of data in it, or 
to create a lengthy succession of smaller collections of data,containing only 
the material needed for the particular combination being tested each time?
