Re: [TDD] Testing a class which utilizes randomness

All you've done is test with you've approximately built a random number generator. My underlying point was the OP might want to choose a slightly saner problem.

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.
