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.
