A prototype of synthetic data generator

The massive and extensive use of information technologies has generated a significant increase in both data and applications to manipulate it. These applications should be tested with a enough and representative volume of data. Real-world data is generally not available for issues of confidentiality and privacy. Thus, it is necessary to have synthetic data generators for this purpose. In this paper a free software prototype (PSDG) designed by generating data is described. The prototype is capable of generating and loading synthetic data into an empty database. Shuffling, Nulling out, table-to-table synchronization techniques have been implemented in order to generate the data.
