Build an Extensible Python Test Data Factory with Faker and Strategy Pattern

This guide presents a Python‑based, object‑oriented test data factory that leverages the Faker library and the strategy pattern to generate business‑rule‑aware, globally unique, and scenario‑driven data such as users and orders, with support for concurrency safety, extensibility, and future AI‑driven natural‑language commands.
