      From someone who does this for a living… vary your names and addresses. Less chance of collisions if your suite teardown fails to clean up properly. Depending on your needs, having a hard-coded unique name/address per test can be fine, or if you’re using Python, there’s a library called Faker that will generate ISO-valid test data. It’s also a bit easier to see where a teardown failed if maybe an exception got swallowed.

    Life Pro Tip - Jenny’s number also (usually) works at the grocery checkout line to get the advertised store member discount on items. Choose whichever area code you like, someone has likely set it up in the past.

    I once made test users who were all named John Smith in different languages. I learned that basically every name is a variant of John.
