<h3><a name="description"></a>Product description</h3>

<p>The Creator tool is used to create different kinds of test data (for
example, contacts, messages or calendar entries) into a device. Creator is a
useful tool for testing situations where a device is saving high amounts of
data, or the data is either saved to a device several times or to multiple
devices at the same time. </p>

<p>The test data itself is contained in XML scripts, identified by the
<i>.creatorxml</i> file extension. The Creator Carbide.c++ Extension automates
and simplifies the creation of these scripts by enabling you to add components
such as contacts, messages, notes, and files in the Carbide IDE. You can also
create advanced test data combinations that associate, for example, contact
data with messaging data. </p>

<p>The Creator extension can be started by selecting <b>File &gt; New &gt;
Other &gt; Carbide Extensions &gt; Creator script file</b> or <b>Carbide &gt;
Creator Script Editor</b>.</p>
