Stress testing of applications can be done in lots of different ways. This package provides an easy to use tool to stress test applications which take files as parameters. Editors, image viewers, and many more classes of apps come to mind.
The stress test is based on a given set of files, binary or text. Those files are taken randomly and some bytes are modified also randomly (fuzzing). Then the application gets executed with the fuzzed file. Repeating this over and over again stresses the robustness for defective input data of the application.
Tutorial and API documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs.
Currently provided:
- Random testing of functions.
- Random testing of applications taking files.
- Logging configuration.
The easiest way to install is via easy_install or pip
$ pip install fuzzing
Run tests:
$ behave
from fuzzing.fuzzer import FuzzExecutor
# Files to use as initial input seed.
file_list = ["./features/data/t1.pdf", "./features/data/t3.pdf", "./features/data/t2.jpg"]
# List of applications to test.
apps_under_test = ["/Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader",
"/Applications/PDFpen 6.app/Contents/MacOS/PDFpen 6",
"/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/Preview",
]
number_of_runs = 13
def test():
fuzz_executor = FuzzExecutor(apps_under_test, file_list)
fuzz_executor.run_test(number_of_runs)
return fuzz_executor.stats
def main():
stats = test()
for k, v in stats.items():
print('{} = {}'.format(k, v))
