REDCap Filler is a testing and development service for REDCap users. It generates 100% synthetic test data based on the design of a REDCap project, allowing for rapid data creation with minimal effort. It aids in the testing of project features and downstream processes.
Release 0.1.1 provides these features:
- Works on classic projects and longitudinal projects.
- Uses the REDCap API to read the project design and write the generated data.
- Fills categorical fields (providing a uniform random distribution).
- Fills unvalidated text fields and fields with common text validation types: date, datetime, email, integer, number, phone, and zipcode.
- Provides random-normal distributions for numeric and date fields.
- Uses "Lorem ipsum" text for non-validated text fields.
- Injects simple default randomness where practicable for other types.
- Leaves the form completed fields set to 'Incomplete' (red).
- Does not violate basic data constraints defined in the data dictionary (e.g., validation types, ranges where applicable).
- Populates specified events in longitudinal projects.
- Fills a specified number of records.
