There they add fuzzers to help testing an ADT: in this case an Abstract Data Type in the form of a red-black tree.
And then see if it can be added to DUnit and NUnit or MSTest/VSTest in some way.
In the original post by Jonathan Lange, an important remark was made by Eric Castelijn:

That fuzzing uses random does not means it has to be non-deterministic: just record the random seed before a test.

Indeed. I should have made that clear.
