What a bunch of skin flints!
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

They're trying to muzzle the truth, I think.

It will take a higher caliber of character to fool us!

Agreed, I imagine he'll be the receiver of a lot of hate mail.

When you think up some user of your system, create a profile, and then pretend it's a real user who's using your system?
Our system does something with lease cars, so typical profiles would be:
John: Uses his car to drive to work and do groceries, he never drives more than the maximum allowed private distance.
Kate: Kate likes travelling and drives her car more than she should. She always pays extra because she's never within the maximum limit.
Usually there's a little more data, like age, an actual picture or avatar, etc.
When developing we should think "would this work for John and Kate?" and so be more engaged with our users.
I've had this at school, but I forgot what it's called. No doubt some people in here know about it.
Unfortunately my Google-fu is failing me today.

User Interaction Testing?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's called a Persona. Persona programming is part of Agile development.

Except the Persona Non Grata programming of course! They don't want that!

The word you are looking for is Persona.
