Rails 3.1 Change the URL in a Controller

How do I Change the URL for the view in the controller.
In my controller I generate an ID which I want to display
in the URL of the browser when the view is rendered.

For example, when I enter / in my browser, it should redirect me
to /test/1. The ID is generated randomly by the controller.
So when I access / the 2nd time it could redirect me to /test/3.

I tried to do a match route in my routes.rb file.
But I couldn't find a solution.

routes.rb

get 'test/run'
root to: 'test#run'

match '/test/:id', to: 'test#run'

How about that:

class TestController
  def show
    ...
  end

  def run
    redirect_to Test.random
  end
end

Of course, you have to write random scope for your Test model. You may find helpful this question also - Random record in ActiveRecord

P.S. I'm not sure that the Test is a good name for your model. It could be already used by ruby or rails.
