Fictitious data and testing tools
Some tools exist to help developers and QA teams test forms. They create fictitious data or check format rules, without querying official databases.
What fictitious data means
Fictitious data is randomly created for testing. It may follow a mask, length or check digit rule, but it does not represent a real person, company, account, card or document.
Allowed use
- Testing forms in development environments.
- Validating masks, field rules and error messages.
- Populating demos and test databases without using real data.
Prohibited use
- Creating real sign-ups with fictitious data.
- Impersonating a person, company or document holder.
- Using generated numbers for fraud, payments, account opening or bypassing systems.
