Current choices seem to be NIST SP-800-22, DieHarder and Test U01, all of which certainly overlap.
Why is there no battery of tests that includes standards developed by different countries and their obvious biases?

#2Lossless compression algorithms. True randomness should yield near 0% compression ratios.

#4Broad statistical tests are good enough for most all non-crypto RNGs - once you pass DieHarder you're probably good enough for practially all common RNG uses.
Breaking crypto RNGs is a subtle enough art that having a standardized set of tests wouldn't actually prove anything useful - it would be like saying "We tried every key in our collection on this new padlock and none of them worked, therefore the padlock is secure."
