Abstract
Fuzz Testing, or fuzzing, is a software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random test inputs to the software system under test. The system is then monitored for crashes and other undesirable behavior. Fuzz testing can be effective for finding security vulnerabilities, such as the Heartbleed bug.Citation
