'''Random test generators''' (often abbreviated RTG) are a subsettype of [[Generator (computer science)|generatorssoftware]] that areis used in [[functional verification]] of [[microprocessor|microprocessors]]. Their primary use lies in providing input stimulus to a [[device under test]].

In a [[Logic simulation|simulation]] / [[testbench]] verification environment, the simulator processes input created by the RTG and coverage monitors may used to verify that the generator is properly testing the design.
