What is a type of testing enters random malformed data as inputs into software programs to determine if they will crash?

A.
Black box testing

B.
Combinatorial testing

C.
Fuzzing

D.
Pairwise testing

Explanation:
Answer C is correct; Fuzzing is a form of black box software testing which enters random malformed data as inputs into software programs to determine if they will crash.

Incorrect Answers and Explanations: A, B, and D: Answers A, B, and D are incorrect. Black box testing gives the tester no internal details: the software is treated as a black box that receives inputs. Fuzzing is a form of black box testing and is more specific, so it is a better answer. Combinatorial software testing is a black box testing method that seeks to identify and test all unique combinations of software inputs. Pairwise testing is a form of combinatorial testing that identifies unique pairs of inputs.
