Fuzzing is a security assessment technique that allows testers to analyze the behavior of software applications under which of the following conditions?
A.
Unexpected input
B.
Invalid output
C.
Parameterized input
D.
Valid output
Explanation:
Fuzzing is a software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data to as inputs to a computer program. The program is then
monitored for exceptions such as crashes, or failed validation, or memory leaks.
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: Fuzzing uses invalid input and not output to test the application’s response, such as crashes, or failed validation, or memory leaks, to such input.
C: Parameterized input may be one of the invalid, unexpected, or random data that would be used in fuzz testing. Other forms of invalid data should also be tested.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzz_testing
