Java Bullshifier - Generate Massive Random Code Bases

By OverOps

Community Member

The command line tool you’ve been waiting for. Or not. After all, it’s pretty esoteric. Either way, it’s pretty useful to some, and an amusing utility to others. Bullshifier is an internal OverOps tool developed by David Levanon and Hodaya Gamliel. It’s used in order to test some of our monitoring capabilities over ridiculously large code bases, with transactions that go thousands of calls deep, over thousands of classes, and end up with exceptions.

Let’s dig into how to use it and why we built it.
