In this chapter, we'll start with one of the simplest test generation techniques. The key idea of random text generation, also known as fuzzing, is to feed a string of random characters into a program in the hope to uncover failures.Prerequisites You should know fundamentals of software testing; for instance, from the chapter "Introduction to Software Testing". You should have a decent understanding of Python; for instance, from the Python tutorial.We can make these prerequisites explicit. Fi...| www.fuzzingbook.org
Welcome to "The Fuzzing Book"! Software has bugs, and catching bugs can involve lots of effort. This book addresses this problem by automating software testing, specifically by generating tests automatically. Recent years have seen the development of novel techniques that lead to dramatic improvements in test generation and software testing. They now are mature enough to be assembled in a book – even with executable code.| www.fuzzingbook.org
