Mutation Analysis: Answering the Fuzzing Challenge. (arXiv:2201.11303v1 [cs.SE])

Fuzzing is one of the fastest growing fields in software testing. The idea
behind fuzzing is to check the behavior of software against a large number of
randomly generated inputs, trying to cover all interesting parts of the input
space, while observing the tested software for anomalous behaviour. One of the
biggest challenges facing fuzzer users is how to validate software behavior,
and how to improve the quality of oracles used. While mutation analysis is the
premier technique for evaluating …
