What is stochastic testing?

Q: What is stochastic testing? A: Stochastic testing is the same as "monkey testing", but stochastic testing is a lot more technical sounding name for the same testing process. Stochastic testing is black box testing, random testing, performed by automated testing tools. Stochastic testing is a series of random tests over time. The software under test typically passes the individual tests, but our goal is to see if it can pass a large number of individual tests.
