Etymology

From fuzz + -er.

Definitions

  1. A software program that performs fuzz testing.

    • You should be able to write a simple fuzzer that hits your arguments to make sure your program is properly checking inputs. Actually, I would take this time to write a fuzzer to just learn how they are built.
    • Found this bug on my own, no need for a fuzzer
    • In exchange for this additional complexity it is more efficient in finding bugs than fuzzers that blindly generate inputs with rand.
