The Sample Data Generator produces realistic, cohesive, and 100% fictional datasets for use in demonstrations and testing.
The SDG prefers statistically realistic patterns (e.g., a student with poor attendance generally tracks to poor grades, students are the appropriate age for their grade level, students who are English learners have home languages that track to their ethnicity, and so forth). The system is configurable, and can produce arbitrarily large datasets.
While the SDG creates data with realistic patterns, it is randomly generated and must not be used in place of real-world data for scenarios such as training for machine learning or other algorithmic approaches.

MetaEd is a technology framework that uses an Ed-Fi-aligned domain specific language (DSL) to auto-generate software, database, and data standard artifacts.
The internal Ed-Fi Alliance team uses MetaEd to define and produce core components such as the Ed-Fi Standard Interchange Schema (XSD files), the Ed-Fi ODS (SQL Scripts), and technical documentation from a single source definition written in the MetaEd DSL.
A version of MetaEd called the MetaEd IDE supports the generation of Ed-Fi Extensions and all related artifacts. The MetaEd IDE is freely available to licensees.

The Console Bulk Loader is a command-line tool that can be used by platform hosts to initially populate an ODS database with XML data conforming to the Ed-Fi Data Standard.
The Console Bulk Loader is built using code generation techniques that take into account the ODS database schema as well as the Ed-Fi XSD Schema definitions and metadata. The Loader can also be used during database initialization to create the Minimal ODS Template database by populating Ed-Fi Descriptors and education organizations into an empty ODS database. The Console Bulk Loader project is called EdFi.Ods.BulkLoad.Console. It is part of the Ed-Fi-ODS solution.

The Ed-Fi Learning Standards Sync Utility is a tool for system administrators for synchronizing learning standards between the AB Connect API and a specified Ed-Fi ODS / API instance. Using the tool requires active credentials for both the target Ed-Fi ODS / API instance and the AB Connect API. The Sync Utility application provides a command-line interface (CLI) to set parameters and define options.

Authorization schemes in an Ed-Fi ODS / API implementation are flexible and can be customized to serve a variety of security needs. However, the configuration metadata can be complex, which can make it difficult for administrators to understand exactly what permissions apply for a resource. The Ed-Fi ODS / API solution comes with a command-line Security Visualization Tool to help implementers visualize authorization configurations.

The ODS / API Smoke Test Utility is a console application that will run each dynamically generated endpoint of the ODS / API. Its purpose is to verify an installation and operation of an ODS / API, and is useful as part of a continuous build or continuous deployment environment. Although it does not perform complex scenario tests, the Smoke Test tool does methodically perform operations in scenario-like orders.

The Ed-Fi Data Standard allows two alternative values for reference types: lookup types and identity types. The Ed-Fi Bulk Load API and the Console Bulk Loader require that identity type references always be used. The XML Lookup Utility is a command-line application that resolves lookup references to identity references in Ed-Fi XML documents. The utility is suitable for interactive or scripted use as part of a larger data-ingestion process.

The Client-Side Bulk Load Utility is designed to facilitate consistent and efficient loading of XML data files through the API. The primary feature of the tool is the ability to process only those data elements that have changed since the last run. This leads to substantial load time improvements on subsequent loads once an initial full import is completed. Other features include the option to effectively resume a load after stopping as well as the ability to load data using the full security model, including profiles.
