Re: [TDD] Testing a class which utilizes randomness

Jarod, Testing a RNG doesn't have to be hard.
Just have to roll the dice a sufficient number of times and bin out the results.
Then check that the bins are filled according to the expected statistical distribution.
If you want a higher accuracy for your test then make more bins and/or roll more numbers.
I¡¯d advise a little research on this topic. There are issues of runs, alternation, patterns, and many others. It¡¯s quite a subject.
