Personally I don't like the idea of randomly generated test cases. Test  
cases need to
be deterministic and repeatable otherwise you don't have much chance of  
tracking
down problems when your tests fail. That said, automatically generating  
test cases
 from a deterministic pseudo-random number generator might still have its  
uses.
It might be idea to add something that checks you have sufficient coverage  
of
the range/domain's involved statistically speaking.
