Question

You are building a payment-processing module that must be tested against customers in Germany, Japan, and Brazil. You ask GitHub Copilot Chat to generate a sample dataset of 50 customer records. Which prompt approach will most reliably produce test data that exercises locale-specific formatting (addresses, phone numbers, postal codes, and currency) rather than generic US-style values?

Accepted Answer

Explicitly instruct Copilot to generate records grouped by country (Germany, Japan, Brazil), specifying the expected format for postal codes, phone numbers, and currency for each locale.

Answer

Ask for '50 realistic customer records' and let Copilot infer the locales from the module name in the open file.

Answer

Request '50 customer records with random international data' so Copilot varies the formats automatically.

Answer

Generate 50 US-format records first, then ask Copilot in a follow-up to 'make some of them international.'
