random testing
Arbitrary sample verification
Random testing is a method of checking for something—drugs, software bugs, security compliance—by selecting subjects or cases without a predetermined pattern.
The randomness aims to prevent gaming the system: employees can't time their drug use around predictable test dates, and software can't hide bugs that only appear under specific conditions.
The company conducts random testing of warehouse workers.
