I know nothing of this sort of testing though I am curious to know how you'd
find the data that would generate errors when a method accepts a number and
handles 1, 1.5, and 2 just fine but 1.6 returns an incorrect result.

Surely GUI is worse as the human variable is bigger, and the client machine is
a new variable.  It may be possible to crash an API only if a user clicks too
fast, or clicks on something while pressing a key at the same time, or other
such unexpected activity.  I had one crash we could only reproduce with a
specific video driver.  Sometimes the ability to crash is relative to the speed
 of the mouse clicking and the speed of the CPU or GPU.
