Test data generator for symfony2 with doctrine2

Question

I'm facing a common problem with generating data sets for testing purpose in my application. I've found many tools which provides raw data generation (http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/test-sample-data-generators/) but I'm looking for something more sophisticated.

I have a symfony2 with doctrine2 project. Entities are defined with proper relations - one to one, one to many, many to many. Is there any solution which will provide automatic data generation based on those entities? Maybe it's too much, maybe not. Thanks for any hints.

You should look into:

Doctrine data fixtures - loads fixtures and allows you to clear tables at each test run
Alice - allows you to load fixtures from csv/yaml/xml/etc
Faker - allows you to generate random data by seed - integrates with data-fixtures
