I have to agree with Jay about being able to test against real data to ensure outputs are consistent.
At the same time, things like SSNs can be randomized without affecting that, so long as they aren't a key value. Considering the nature of SSNs and how poor a key they are, I've not yet had that problem. Not sure exactly how I'll deal with it if I do. Perhaps a cascading update and randomize the SSNs.
