To evaluate a pseudo random number generator (PRNG),
I'm aware of many test suites, for example:

- ent

http://www.fourmilab.ch/random/

- rngtest from package rng-tools

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/

- dieharder

http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder.php
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder/dieharder.html

- STS

http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/rng/index.html

- TestU01

http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~simardr/testu01/tu01.html

More information could be found at:

For hashing functions, especially cryptographic hashing functions,
what are the tools to test them ?

Regards.
