Abstract: Randomness is ambiguously defined as the absence of structure, whereby reliable generation and evaluation thereof imposes a complex problem. Efforts have been made to quantify randomness by developing randomness test suites as aggregation of selected statistical methods. This study aims to evaluate caveats developers may encounter employing such methods, and compares the application of randomness test suites for arbitrary data to evaluate features of randomness. Therefore, an initial set of three open-source Python-based implementations of the NIST SP 800-22 test suite have been analyzed and compared. The results indicate no ”one-size-fits-all” approach when assessing randomness; instead, it demonstrates how deviations between specification and implementation can lead to inaccurate results and erroneous conclusions about randomness.
