Creating Facebook dummy users.

Question

Is there any regulation about creating dummy Facebook accounts to test apps? What do you do when you need many account to test application you are developing?

Answer 1

Hey,

You'll see online people mentioning creating test accounts... most people have different accounts for their application environments (dev, test, prod)...

If you need many accounts, get your friends to test :-)

HTH.

There are some issues that people find annoying, like the block that test accounts can't use normal Facebook features means you can't test the viewing of friends lists and such.
