Version 1 was integrated with [NBuilder](https://github.com/garethdown44/nbuilder/) for list generation, but that is now replaced with internal code that uses [Castle Dynamic Proxy](http://www.castleproject.org/projects/dynamicproxy/) for an even terser syntax.\n\nPrior to v2.0 this library was known as NTestDataBuilder.\n[block:api-header]\n{\n  \"type\": \"basic\",\n  \"title\": \"Contributions / Questions\"\n}\n[/block]\nIf you would like to contribute to this project then feel free to communicate with us via Twitter ([:::at:::teststacknet](https://twitter.com/teststacknet)) or alternatively submit a [pull request](https://github.com/TestStack/TestStack.Dossier/compare/) / [issue](https://github.com/TestStack/TestStack.Dossier/issues/new).\n\nFeel free to check out our [up-for-grabs issues if you don't know where to start](https://github.com/TestStack/TestStack.Dossier/labels/up-for-grabs).","createdAt":"2015-05-01T10:37:15.858Z","excerpt":"","hidden":false,"slug":"introduction","title":"Introduction","isReference":false,"next":{"description":"","pages":[]},"childrenPages":[]}
