00:00:00,012 --> 00:00:05,004
How can we automate our test generation so that our covered score goes up more

2
00:00:05,004 --> 00:00:10,261
quickly? One way to do it is with randomization seeds. Randomization seeds are

3
00:00:10,261 --> 00:00:15,334
basically the initial state of your randomization engine. So if you have the

4
00:00:15,334 --> 00:00:20,557
same test and you give it different seeds, you get actually different results.

5
00:00:20,557 --> 00:00:25,382
This way, you get much more bang for the buck from your tests and we use this

6
00:00:25,382 --> 00:00:30,657
method extensively. This will help you to create higher coverage scores, but it

7
00:00:30,657 --> 00:00:35,263
goes only so far. Giving a thousand seeds for the same test is not very

8
00:00:35,263 --> 00:00:40,174
effective, the effect levels off pretty quickly. Therefore, we want to use

9
00:00:40,174 --> 00:00:45,304
randomization seeds extensively. It's much better to use computers than humans

10
00:00:45,304 --> 00:00:47,465
to drive up your coverage scores.
