If you think there are situations where that approach will discover bugs,
then I'd agree with Ashley that you ought to define those situations
specifically in your tests. But if you just want to throw a bunch of random
data at them, then I'd expect your discoveries will also be random. That
wouldn't give me the degree of confidence to make it worth the effort.

Are you maybe looking for performance testing?
