Testing that the csprng produces randomness of a good statistically (secure) distribution is out of scope. We cant supply a seed either as we use OsRng. We can test that the random values are in a certain range.

Correction: we just push some random numbers in the main function, testing that would be a waste of time (and weird, since we'd need to move that part to a new function). Is there actually anything to be tested?
