Fuzzing
Fuzzing • testing/quick on steroids
Fuzzing • testing/quick on steroids • MongoDB binary protocol parsing
packages
Fuzzing • testing/quick on steroids • MongoDB binary protocol parsing
packages • FerretDB had fuzzing tests even before unit tests
Table-driven tests type testCase struct { name string b []byte
v bsontype err error }
Table-driven tests type testCase struct { name string b []byte
v bsontype err error } • Unmarshal b to (v2, err2) • compare with v or err • Marshal v2 to b2 • compare with b
Table-driven tests func TestDocument(t *testing.T) { for _, tc :=
range testCases { tc := tc t.Run(tc.name, func(t *testing.T) {
Fuzzing func FuzzDocument(f *testing.F) { for _, tc := range

When b2 != b
When b2 != b • b might be larger than
needed
When b2 != b • b might be larger than
needed • The unread portion of b should be removed

When b2 != b • b might be larger than
needed • The unread portion of b should be removed • Some bytes might be insigni fi cant • Use canonization (json.Compact, etc)
