Fuzzing

Fuzzing is an automated software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a program. The goal is to trigger crashes, memory leaks, or other errors that might indicate security vulnerabilities.

In smart contract development, fuzzing is used to explore a vast range of possible inputs to find edge cases that developers might have overlooked. It is a highly effective way to find bugs in complex financial logic.

Fuzzing complements formal verification by providing a practical, empirical way to test the system. It is a standard practice in the security lifecycle of robust protocols.
