I recommend running the tests in random order as well.
This is a bad idea. Tests could fail only some of the time. Even if bugs
are missed, I would prefer it if tests did exactly the same thing every
time.
Running tests in random order helps find hidden dependencies, but I
wouldn't want it as a default. I lot of unittesting libraries offer
this. If you don't run tests often it doesn't help much, but if you do
TDD it can help.
Note the order of unit tests is defined by druntime. It can easily be
modified.
