+=== Generate Test Data
+
+First you need to install the Populator and Faker gems. You can do this by either using rails' gems task
+
+<tt>rake gems:install</tt>
+
+or by installing the gems manually
+
+<tt>sudo gem install populator</tt>
+<tt>sudo gem install faker</tt>
+
+After you have set up the gems and migrated your database you can generate the data:
+
+<tt>rake db:populate</tt>
+
+The populate task will create 8 user groups with 0 to 150 users each. Each user can have upto 7 orders. (see lib/tasks/populate.rb)
