Perfectly agree with you. The generation of fake data can be based on a
more comprehensive set of meta-data, instead of just the dataSets.
I think that further development could solve the problem.
At the moment the application solves the main hassle: assembles the
combination of dataElements Ids with organisationUnits Ids.
I did not write an in-depth article about because I have time just
during the weekends, not all of them, but I will do it next week, in
order to understand better the inner mechanism.
The results, of the actual mechanism, can be modified by means of a
spreadsheet.
In case of wide interest in the application, I can proceed in further
development.
Egoistically now the application solves the problems of testing some
specific installations here in Mozambique.

Hi,
I presume you want the data set exported with allocated orgunits....
The main drawback with randomly generated numbers is that a lot of
things won't make any sense with such data, like data validation rules
and indicators. It will work for certain types of "techie" testing
only - health workers won't be able to relate to data and indicators
that makes no sense.
A more useful approach would be having an app that can take a
real-world DHIS2 database and then randomise those numbers within
specific parameters:
- that general relations between different data elements and catcombos
are maintained (i.e. it changes 890 children immunised and 1000
children <1year into 925 immunised and 1045 children <1, NOT into 1834
children immunised and 287 children <1 as randomly generated numbers
might do)
- the general activity levels of different orgunittypes are maintained
(i.e. big hospitals have much larger numbers than small clinics and
mobiles).
My 2c worth

Because of a constant need of testing standard reports, I developed
an application able to generate fake data.
It could be useful for developers therefore I post here the link:
