Does snitch support data generators?
I find using data generators very convenient for testing many variations of input scenarios.

Hello! You can check the comparison with Catch2 page in the docs; unfortunately the answer is no. It's not too hard to replicate if you have your own generate_some_values() function:

TEST_CASE("foo") {
    for (const auto& value : generate_some_values()) {
        CAPTURE(value);
        // Test code using 'value' here...
    }
}

I tend to use this pattern with hard-coded lists, for example:

TEST_CASE("foo") {
    for (const auto value : {42, 55, 89, -5, 654, 2, 0}) {
        CAPTURE(value);
        // Test code using 'value' here...
    }
}

edit: See also this issue which tracks a request to implement generators.
