Fuzzing

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
