IMHO, if something isn’t part of the contract, it should be randomized. Eg if iteration order of maps isn’t guaranteed in your language, then your language should go out of its way to randomize it. Otherwise, you end up with brittle code: code that works fine until it doesn’t.

I agree, this can also detect brittle tests (e.g, test methods/classes that only pass if executed in a particular order). But applying it for all data could be expensive computation-wise
