Fuzz Testing

Definition

Fuzz testing is a software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a computer program. The goal is to discover software bugs, security loopholes, and vulnerabilities by observing how the program handles these abnormal inputs. This automated method systematically stresses a system to identify weaknesses that might not be found through standard testing procedures. It is a practical approach for uncovering robust errors in complex systems.
