What term is commonly used when referring to
this type of testing?
A. Fuzzing
B. Randomizing
C. Mutating
D. Bounding
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 c
omputer 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 o
f random testing which has been used for testing hardware or software.
