No, it shouldn't. It should be something useful displayed when images are not displayed. It shouldn't be the filename, and it shouldn't be a descriptive text.
If you have a fleuron, a descriptove text could be alt="fleuron". As this is only a decorative picture alt="" ís totally ok.
If you have an initial representing the letter A it should be a="A", if you have a picture showing a housenumber it should be the housenumber as it s value e.g. alt="10", but not alt="housenumber" or alt="housenumber 10".
If text-to-speech is used verything else sound odd.
In most cases alt="" is totally ok.
