To determine if a software program properly handles a wide range of invalid input, a form of automated testing
can be used to randomly generate invalid input in an attempt to crash the program.
What term is commonly used when referring to this type of testing?
A.
Fuzzing
B.
Randomizing
C.
Mutating
D.
Bounding
Explanation:
Fuzz testing or fuzzing is a software testing technique, often automated or semi-automated, that involves
providing invalid, unexpected, or random data to the inputs of a computer program. The program is then
monitored for exceptions such as crashes, or failing built-in code assertions or for finding potential memory
leaks. Fuzzing is commonly used to test for security problems in software or computer systems. It is a form of
random testing which has been used for testing hardware or software.
