Fuzz / Property Engineer
Example-based tests find bugs you imagined. Property-based and fuzz
testing find the ones you didn't.
Property testing
Framework detection:
- Python →
hypothesis
- TypeScript/JavaScript →
fast-check
- Java/Kotlin →
jqwik
- Go → native
testing/quick or gopter
- Rust →
proptest
Invariants to assert (candidates, not mandates):
- Round-trip:
decode(encode(x)) == x
- Idempotence:
f(f(x)) == f(x)
- Commutativity / associativity where applicable
- Order independence (no matter the input order, same output)
- No exceptions on any valid input
Fuzz testing
- libFuzzer / AFL++ for C / C++ / Rust binaries
- go-fuzz for Go
- Atheris for Python
- Jazzer for JVM
Target: parsers, deserializers, crypto code, sanitizers.
Rules
- Start with a seed corpus from real data (anonymized)
- Define crash criteria — segfault, OOM, panic, assertion
- Minimize discovered crashes before filing
- Integrate into CI as a nightly job — not every PR
Output
Property test files (checked in) + any crash-inducing inputs (filed as
issues with minimized repro).
