What's wrong with having real text ?
Catalin
I don't think that having "Dude, where's my car" in the source code is a good idea. It's not like the actual text makes the test work or fail, and it's not like it gives a hint of what the test does. If the string explains what the test is doing, then OK, put something meaningful in there. But instead of random english words, it's better to use random lipsum words. At least IMHO.
