Calling several times a single test - Google Tests

Question

I am trying to perform a little of random testing in a piece of software I am developing.
I have a fixture that is initialized with random values, therefore, each test will have different input.

Moreover, what I want is to run one of those test several times(I expect the fixture to be initialized randomly for each execution), is it possible in Google Tests? I need that to be in the code, not to use a argument or something like that.

I am looking for something like invocationCount in JUnit.

@PiotrNycz: thanks, I think it can be achievable through 'Value-Parameterized Tests' But I would have to create a specific fixture for the test I want to be repeated.isn't it? Doesn't seems it quite complex just to make a test be repeated? — Mario Corchero, Feb 15 '13 at 11:08
I do not have so much experience in GT to answer your question. I agree it seems complex - maybe you can ask google folks directly? — PiotrNycz, Feb 15 '13 at 13:21

How about something like this, using an unused parameter and Range()

class Fixture : public ::testing::TestWithParam<int> {
    //Random initialisation
};

TEST_P(Fixture, Test1){}

INSTANTIATE_TEST_CASE_P(Instantiation, Fixture, ::testing::Range(1, 11));

Test1 wil be called 10 times (the range end, 11, isn't included), with a new fixture created each time.

that is what I was discussing with @PiotrNycz at question comments and seems the only available solution. thanks – Mario Corchero Feb 15 '13 at 15:08
