Named for the lovable fuzzy monster, Sulley of Pixar’s Monster’s Inc., the Sulley Fuzzing Framework is equal parts fuzzing framework and testing engine. Designed for not only simplifying data representation but also transmission and instrumentation, Sulley will run for days at a time, constantly checking applications for defects and odd responses to fuzzed inputs and recording the results.
Sulley can also run parallel, depending on its host hardware, and can automatically determine test cases that will trigger faults.
