      Random tests: I could use some pointers as well. My "specialty" is 
Base. I noticed that there are only 3 random test for it, and all of 
them had locks. Seems to me that there should be more than 3. There is 
the creation of a database from beginning to end. What about modifying 
an existing database? What about connecting to a database such as MySQL, 
HSQLDB, text, spreadsheet, etc.?
