factory_boy is a fixtures replacement based on thoughtbot’s factory_bot. As a fixtures replacement tool, it aims to replace static, hard to maintain fixtures with easy-to-use factories for complex objects. Instead of building an exhaustive test setup with every possible combination of corner cases, factory_boy allows you to use objects customized for the current test, while only declaring the test-specific fields.
