Doctrine Fixtures Foundry (Symfony)

Use when

• Creating test or development data for Doctrine entities.
• Writing a Foundry factory, a named state, a sequence, or a story.
• Building related entities for a test without hand-written setup.
• Migrating legacy Foundry v1 factories or ->object() calls to v2.

Default workflow

1. Generate a factory per entity and keep defaults() to required and unique fields.
2. Express each variation as an immutable named state (admin(), published()).
3. Let factories create default relations with OtherFactory::new().
4. Group shared scenarios in stories, and reset the database per test class.
5. Assert on real objects and on the repository through Factory::assert().
