For the first version of the Converter the oldest test was performed with a databases that was distributed along with REDATAM 2.3.0.5 (year 2003) while the most recent was a version 2.5.7.0 (year 2012). Versions 1.4 and 1.5 were adjusted from dictionaries from censuses of 1963 from Uruguay and of 1991 from Argentina.
