EFIC

Testing scenarios don’t just mean running a particular program or feature to see if it works, with various resources required, depending on the case. Chances are your tests include the use of low disk space, or a file of particular size specifications. In this regard, EFIC comes with the right features to help you create files of custom size.

First of all, you can see what the application is all about from the moment download is done, because it’s not packed inside an installer. This also means that it leaves no traces on the target PC other than the files you decide to create, but they don’t affect stability, mostly because registry entries aren’t modified during runtime.

The application provides quite the degree of flexibility based on the file creation options at your disposal. There are multiple parameters to configure, ranging from file size measuring units to help easily set the value, to the type of content to use to fill the files with.

A location needs to be specified for the new file, which can easily be set to the current directory. It’s recommended to run the application with administrator privileges so that it has sufficient writing options. Also make sure to define at least a filename for the new item, and this is done in a different field than the save location.

Size value is specified by manually writing in the dedicated field, but the application also comes with different presets to fit on different disc types. You can also modify the timestamp, and choose the content filling, which can be of different HEX variations. Last but not least, there’s the possibility to assign attributes like readonly, system, archive, temporary, or hidden.

In conclusion, EFIC manages to live up to expectations, and provides the necessary means to help you create dummy files. Parameters are easy to configure, with the possibility to chose a whole diversity of content filling types, and even apply common attributes.
