Dummy data, also known as placeholder or test data, is simulated information used for testing, development, and demonstrating software applications. It mimics real data but lacks meaningful content, providing a representative sample when real data is unavailable or inappropriate.
Key uses of dummy data:
Testing:
Dummy data helps ensure software functions correctly under various conditions, including edge cases and data variations.
Development:
It allows developers to work with a sample dataset without needing real data, accelerating the development process.
Demos and Presentations:
Dummy data creates realistic and engaging demos of applications, showcasing their functionality.
