'''Random test generators''' (often abbreviated RTG or ISG for Instruction Stream Generator) are a type of [[computer software]] that is used in [[functional verification]] of [[microprocessor]]s. Their primary use lies in providing input stimulus to a [[device under test]].

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