Creating Greek Data

Question

I heard a term "Greek Text" for dummy unintelligible text for testing in QA.

Is it a correct term? If yes, how do we create this data?

Thanks

Answer 1

See http://www.lipsum.com/

Answer 2

I think you are referring to Lorem Ipsum.

There is a generator here. Refreshing the page gives you new random text.

Answer 3

Besides Lorem Ipsum you could also consider:

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy sleeping dog.

...repeated as often as necessary.

That particular sentence is used because it holds every letter of the English alphabet. More for graphic design I suppose but still an option for dummy data.

Answer 4

This site has a great generator, and offers "regular" latin greeking along with some more entertaining options. Pseudo German and Hillbilly are my personal favorites.
