This is primarily a technical term used in software development and data science fields in both Brazil and the United States. In Brazilian IT companies and universities, 'código fictício' is widely understood among developers, while in statistics contexts, 'variável fictícia' is the preferred term in academic and research environments. The term reflects the international nature of software development where English technical vocabulary is commonly adopted even in Portuguese-speaking countries.
