Testing pseudorandom number generators

The paper describes possible methods for testing pseudorandom number generators. The question of true randomness of generated sequences is considered. A review and analysis of currently available pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) is performed, and the reasons for the need to test them are revealed. The authors have performed their own tests on popular PRNGs. The use of programs such as rngtest and their effectiveness in testing pseudorandom sequence generation algorithms are considered.
