As some posters have already said, it depends what you are trying to test.
If you want to test what your solution does when it receives a randomly-generated number, then you don't need to use random numbers. You can hide the generation of the random number in a type which is defined by an interface. Then you can supply a dummy version of the type which supplies numbers that you choose specifically for your test. So for example, if you want to test what your solution does when it receives a randomly-generated number less than 10, you set up a test that supplies it with 8. On the other hand, if you want to test the random number generator, for example to test its randomness, then this approach is no good.
