Use mock data
Summary
Environments other than production should use mock or automatically generated data.
Description
Applications usually handle personal and other types of sensitive information. This information should not be used to perform tests or during development processes, as it could lead to unintended exposure. Non-production environments should use mock data or data that has been automatically generated.
