Is that a library? Or the string "Chuck Norris"?

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...
