Description

Is your project safe against unforeseen scenarios? Are you sure? How about if we take it for a ride then? There is almost no software completely error free. And catch all of the possible errors is hard, not to say almost impossible, but what if we use tools that help us bring possible issues to our attention? Those that might cause security issues, or bad user experience.

In this presentation I’ll discuss how to get started with fuzz testing: The art of hitting software with invalid, unexpected, or random data and seeing how it reacts. I’ll present valid scenarios for fixing the bugs found, some of the existing tools, and how to integrate fuzz testing with our existing tests.
