Line 53: ==On randomness== According to the seminal paper on random testing by D. Hamlet <blockquote>[..] the technical, mathematical meaning of "random testing" refers to an explicit lack of "system" in the choice of test data, so that there is no correlation among different tests.<ref name=Hamlet94>{{cite book\|title=Encyclopedia of Software Engineering\|year=1994\|publisher=John Wiley and Sons\|isbn=0471540021\|author=Richard Hamlet\|edition=11st\|editor=John J. Marciniak~~\|accessdate=16 June 2013~~\|chapter=Random Testing}}</ref></blockquote> ==Strengths and weaknesses== Line 92: ==Critique== <blockquote>Random testing has only a specialized niche in practice, mostly because an effective oracle is seldom available, but also because of ~~difﬁculties~~difficulties with the operational ~~proﬁle~~profile and with generation of pseudorandom input values.<ref name="Hamlet94"/></blockquote> An [[oracle (software testing)\|oracle]] is an instrument for verifying whether the outcomes match the program specification or not. An operation profile is knowledge about usage patterns of the program and thus which parts are more important.
