Last night, Facebook announced that they are now offering test accounts for developers. This was a serious problem for a lot of developers wishing to test out their application. Developers were forced to create false accounts resulting in possible suspension of those accounts. It appears as though Facebook understands your pain developers! Creating a test account is simple:
- Make sure you have installed the developers application
- Login under the account that you don’t plan on using for real
- Go to the following url: http://www.facebook.com/developers/become_test_account.php
- Your account has been registered as a test account!
One thing to note is that test accounts are not visible to real accounts and vice versa. Also, you can make a test account from an existing account but all of your friends will disappear. If you want to read more information about the new update, go check out the Test Accounts wiki page.
