You set a fixed seed in the test method itself? In that case you run the
exact same test every time. But what I do is set a ‘seed’ instance variable
to a randomly generated value in initialize, and in setUp I set a ‘random’
instance variable to ‘Random seed: seed’. This is essentially what Leandro
implemented in Bee (he added a ‘seed’ instance variable to TestCase). In
this way, test methods can use ‘random’ freely and all is reproducible, but
the seed is not fixed (if I create a new test suite or press the refresh
button on the test runner new seeds are used, and on the long run a much
larger space is covered in the tests).
