As its name suggests, 'rand' is used to list multiple glyph variants
that the engine should select from (pseudo)randomly, see:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_pt.htm#rand

For testing, my OpenType implementation of Knuth's Punk font can be a
good test:

(though it is not a serious font, 'rand' can have good application in
calligraphic and fonts that tries to capture irregularities of hand
writing.)

Regards,
 Khaled
