Merge data

Data objects can be merged to cover the needs of your extension.

In this example we update the quantity to 1001 and add a new piece of data relevant to our extension. This will affect all other tests that use this data.

<entity name="SimpleProduct" type="product">
    <data key="sku" unique="suffix">SimpleProduct</data>
