Moving demo data to their appropriate components

[Scott Gray-2]

What does everyone think about moving the ton of demo data living in ecommerce out to the components where the entities are defined?

My main motivation for asking about this is for testing to ensure that we can run all the framework and application tests even when all special purpose components are removed.  With the increasing number of special purpose apps containing extend-entity definitions I'm concerned about the possibility of the base applications developing dependencies on that extended data model, unintentionally or otherwise.

We already have plenty of framework code that depends on base application entities and I'd hate to see the situation get worse with dependencies in the base apps or framework on the special purpose data model.

I'm willing to move the data so this isn't one of those conversations where nothing will actually get done.

Thanks
Scott

Sounds great to me! Not only will that improve tests, it will make a
clear illustration of dependency direction (higher level to lower level).

Yes that sounds also logical to me. I was surprised to find them there and then get used to. I must say having them in one place is
also convenient, maybe lazy...

I think a model of the data is where the entities are defined, is best.
