Each operating system has a random source and offer methods to get random bytes from this source. Most applications are not able on their own to generate cryptographically safe salts, that's why they read from the random source. Testing this method is done elsewhere, there is no need to test such a salt generator in your application, just call the method of the operating system.

I am fairly new with hashing and I have generated hashes for values using SHA-256 and a self made method of generating salts. It involves deterministically finding the seed for each input for the random salt generator. Now I would like to verify the integrity of the hash values and also check the effectiveness of the salt added. However, I do not know how to go about doing this. Can anyone help with this?
