There are no automated tests for this, since cryptographic randomness requires unpredictability. A statistical test can only tell you when a random number generator is broken, but no statistical test can tell you whether a random number generator is cryptographically sound.

And so the only test is to analyse all known knowledge for any method that is capable of predicting some portion of the random numbers. If none exists, the process is "random".
