If you've ever written test data by hand, you know the ritual: a PersonBuilder , an OrderBuilder , an AddressBuilder … one hand-written builder per class, each one a wall of WithX(...) methods you have to maintain forever. The Test Data Builder and Object Mother patterns are great — the boilerplate is not. XModelBuilder gives you a fluent builder for any C# class out of the box. No per-class builder required. It handles constructor parameters, init-only properties, read-only members, even private backing fields — via reflection, deterministically. Install dotnet add package XModelBuilder 30-second example You can use it fully standalone (no DI container) through a small static facade: using XModelBuilder.Default ; var order = For . Model < Order >() . With ( x => x . OrderDate , new DateTime ( 2026 , 7 , 1 )) . With ( x => x . Lines [ 0 ]. Product , "Widget" ) // deep paths + indexers just work . With ( x => x . Lines [ 0 ]. Quantity , 3 ) . Build (); No OrderBuilder , no OrderLineBuilder . The Lines[0].Product path drills into a nested collection element and sets it for you. Need a whole list? Create.Models<Order>(10) . Deterministic fakers, seeded once Random test data that changes every run is a debugging nightmare. XModelBuilder ships a seeded, dependency-free faker (and a Bogus integration if you prefer). Register it once: services . AddXModelBuilder () . AddXFaker ( seed : 12345 ); // reproducible values, every run Then let it fill in the noise while you set only what your test actually cares about: var order = xprovider . For < Order >() . With ( x => x . Id , p => p . XFake (). NewGuid ()) . With ( x => x . Customer . Name , p => p . Bogus (). Company . CompanyName ()) . With ( x => x . Lines [ 0 ]. Quantity , 3 ) . Build (); XFake().NewGuid("customer-acme") even gives you a stable GUID from a name — same key, same GUID, regardless of call order or parallelism. Deterministic by design. Build a whole list: BuildMany Need ten of something, each slightly differ
