String. Used as factory test for populating objects in tests.

It certainly caught my attention.

I was assuming that someone used the string as a name in the test?

Yes I think they meant they saw a weird name that stood out (I've seen Donald Duck at work) and they investigated more, finding it was test data.

I've seen "Carmen Electra" myself :-) And other funny (more gross) names in the dark corners of huge databases...

I also had a customer discover a playboy center page at the end of a test we sent to them. One of the dev thought it'd be a nice reward. Things went very bad from him right after the phone call...

Always assume others have the sense of humor of a 99 year old stick of tnt.

Had someone at work mention they needed to drop off a dog at grooming on the way to pick up Chinese.

I had to walk away for a bit, as I couldn’t hold it in, but didn’t know if that sort of humor would fly with that crowd.

Or the actor/martial artist?

bravo! i'll take the downvotes that this content-free comment will garner, but you just made my morning.
