"1. In computing, dummy or dummy data, is a term used to describe a character, document, or file that is used as a placeholder holder for important data. They are useful for both testing and operational purposes. For example, dummy data may be used to fill out variables in software in an effort to avoid software testing. Once information is received by a program or entered into the file, the dummy is replaced."
