[PERF-274] Include additional randomness in tests to avoid StaleObjectExceptions (#53)

* Added additional randomness to tests

* Added additional randomness and removed primary key updates that result in 409

* Cautionary note for anyone stumbling on these docs

* Better type handling

* Descriptors need to use instance var instead of class because of inheritance
