Reading Group on Software Testing and Fuzzing, VT'19

Fuzzing in various forms have in recent years become increasingly powerful and useful for detecting bugs and vulnerabilities in software. The course will cover various fuzzing and testing techniques, both basics and recent developments. Covering of material will be done by course participants.

Organization: Below is a list of topics, with suggested material to cover that topic. These topics can be adapted, and it is also perfectly OK so suggest other complementary material. Each topic is discussed at a meeting. In advance to taht meeting, all participants have read the paper (not just skimmed), and are prepared to discuss questions that are provided some days in advance. One participant is responsible, which means he/she will

• Writing a review of the suggested paper(s)
• Leading the discussion at the meeting on the paper, e.g., by preparing discussion questions
• If possible, experiment with an available tool which implements the technique, demonstrating at the meeting, and providing some conclusions from experiments.

Credits: A tentative allocation of credits is to give 5 points for participation, including one presentation. For two presentations, we offer 7 credits. Passive participation can earn 2 credits.
