It also fits quite well if the problem can be traced back to CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) services in the broadest sense.

Most approaches to testing test individual examples. This is often not enough to tease out rare but realistic edge cases. As a result, it takes a large number of individual tests to really be confident that our API is ready for deployment: This is a lot of work. What if we could generate test cases automatically?
