Going Beyond Unit Testing | How to Uncover Blind Spots in your Java Code with Fuzzing

While most Java developers already use unit testing to test whether their application behaves as expected, complementary testing approaches such as fuzz testing enable them to also check their applications for unexpected or strange behaviors that could lead to crashes and make them vulnerable to Denial of Service (Dos) attacks or Zero-Day exploits.

This awesome testing approach is currently gaining a lot of popularity in the open-source community, as it allows developers to execute applications with millions of random, invalid or unusual inputs, which finds bugs that are hard to detect with other testing approaches.

In this live-stream, I will demonstrate how you can apply fuzz testing to your own code, with the CI Fuzz CLI, an easy-to-use fuzzing tool, that enables you to integrate and run fuzz tests directly from your command line or your favorite IDE.

In the demo program(Timing- 28.40 in the video), is there any way to track from the logs that the issue is at line 15 of the program?
