Hello! Thanks everyone for your replies. Like I said, I'm not testing the RNG (or RSG in this case), but rather the algorithm which deals with duplicates. I'll go with what David and John suggested, writing a class to generate unique random strings and injecting a random string generator. Interesting how a TDD approach resulted in code being organized properly. If I hadn't used it, I'd probably have written a method that used an embedded random string generator and would never have given the problem a second thought. Thanks for the help, Nikola
