Blank File Generator : Create blank files of custom size values, with options to set block size, content fill, and more to use in your test scenarios with this app
Testing programs and games requires a lot of parameters, depending on the complexity of the project. Chances are you need a bunch of file with no actual purpose, just so you can perform your test cases. In this regard, Blank File Generator wants to help you create blank files, with several attributes to configure.
Easily set file parameters
Before the application can be put to good use, it’s recommended to make sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework. On the other hand, the program itself doesn’t require installation, so you can see what it’s all about from the moment download is done, and also carry it around on a thumb drive to be used on other computers.As far as the visual design is concerned, the application wants to keep things simple, and presents its features in a classic window frame. A browse dialog helps you easily set the destination for the new file you create, while several fields need to be filled in with the appropriate file parameters, such as size, blocks, and more.
Define fill content and block size
Note, however, that the application can only create one file per operation, but you do get to set the exact size value. You can choose from a decent list of byte multipliers, such as KB, MB, GB, and more. Additionally, you can choose the block size, and you need to be careful here, because an improper value can result in a rather time-consuming operation to build even a small file.The build operation starts at the press of a button. Details are displayed in the lower section, and they include a progress slider and number of blocks written. Before the start, you can choose to fill up file content either with null bytes, space, or random allocation.
A few last words
Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Blank File Generator is a practical application you can use to generate dummy files. These can be used in various test scenarios, but some attention is required to prevent prolonging the process more than necessary.
