The diehard tests are a battery of statistical tests for measuring the quality of a random number generator (RNG). They were developed by George Marsaglia over several years and first published in 1995 on a CD-ROM of random numbers. [1] In 2006, the original diehard tests were extended into the dieharder tests.

He also developed the diehard tests, a series of tests to determine whether or not a sequence of numbers have the statistical properties that could be expected from a random sequence. In 1995 he published a CD-ROM of random numbers, which included the diehard tests.
A well-known and widely used collection of tests was the Diehard Battery of Tests, introduced by Marsaglia; this was extended to the TestU01 suite by L'Ecuyer and Simard. The use of Hadamard transform to measure randomness was proposed by S. Kak and developed further by Phillips, Yuen, Hopkins, Beth and Dai, Mund, and Marsaglia and Zaman.
Some modern tests plot random digits as points on a three-dimensional plane, which can then be rotated to look for hidden patterns. In 1995, the statistician George Marsaglia created a set of tests known as the diehard tests, which he distributes with a CD-ROM of 5 billion pseudorandom numbers.
An initial battery of randomness tests for RNGs was suggested in the 1969 first edition of The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth. Knuth's tests were then supplanted by George Marsaglia's Diehard tests (1996) consisting of fifteen different tests. The inability to modify the test parameters or add new tests led to the development of ...
Die Hard is a little formulaic, over-the-top, and comforting—just like so many of the best Christmas movies. Die Hard stands out because of the unexpected: an unlikely star, a delicious villain ...
