Indeed... mega-hours of nominal operation is fine, but serves no purpose if 
1. the test object is not appropriately specified, or inappropriately
configured
2. the test environment is not specified, configured, nor repeatable
3. the test scenario is not specified, configured, nor repeatable
4. the expected result is not specified to an appropriate accuracy,
precision, specificity and sensitivity
5. the achieved result is not favourably compared to the expected result
Etc

There is a lot more to testing than simply randomly executing it.
