Create test data generators

[ErikSchierboom]

The canonical data of the various exercises regularly receives updates. Some of our exercises will be using outdated or incomplete data. We should try to fix this by writing test generators, support for which is added in #228.

If someone is interested in writing a test generator, please state so here, so that I can mark that exercise as being worked on.

[ErikSchierboom]

And the first test generator has been merged (in #229)! 🎉

[ErikSchierboom]

@robkeim Earlier, you stated that you were interested in creating a test data generator. Are you still interested? If so, I'd love to have you try out the current generators framework and see where you feel I can improve things.

[robkeim]

Hey @ErikSchierboom I'd love to help out, but I've been super busy with relocating to a new country, and now I'm trying to get settled into my job and establish myself here. You should keep making progress without me, as I think I'll need a couple of months before things settle down.

[ErikSchierboom]

@robkeim Ah, good luck then with your relocating! Hope to have you back soon.

[robkeim]

I'm going to work on the generator for clock

[felix91gr]

Ah, here it is. I’m going to work in the Difference of Squares Test Case Generator :D

[robkeim]

I'm closing this issue now that we have individual issues for each generator.

[ErikSchierboom]

Agreed!
