Fuzzing or fuzz testing is an automated software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a computer program.
The program is then monitored for exceptions such as crashes, failing built-in code assertions, or potential memory leaks.
Typically, fuzzers are used to test programs that take structured inputs.

To achieve a well-defined scope, I have chosen to include publications on fuzzing in the last proceedings of 4 top major security conferences and others from Jan 2008 to Jul 2019.
It includes (i) Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS), (ii) IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (S&P), (iii) USENIX Security Symposium (USEC), and (iv) ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS).
