This challenge is based on ECommerce test data because most of us SDETs should be familiar with E-commerce transactions (as customers). The given test dataset has customer details, product information, and e-commerce transactions. This dataset has multiple layers of relationships, data variety (such as customer tiers, product categories and payment statuses), and time-series data (such as customer signup dates and order dates). This data avoids personally identifiable information and is able to support multiple runs of realistic e-commerce automated scripted tests.What is the challenge’s goal?The goal of this challenge is for you to generate a larger synthetic dataset using AI techniques (for example generative AI or an AI model) or software scripting, while maintaining the relationships of the given original dataset. Your larger dataset should have the same schema (structure) as the original dataset. It should continue to have privacy (no personally identifiable information), data con
