Fuzz Test - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A fuzz test bombards code with random or malformed inputs to surface crashes and security bugs.
A fuzz test feeds a program large volumes of random, malformed, or unexpected inputs to find crashes, hangs, or security flaws. Coverage-guided fuzzers mutate inputs to reach new code paths.
Fuzzing runs continuously or in CI on a time budget. Because it is nondeterministic, findings are usually captured as regression cases once reproduced.
