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.

Designed around the concept of behavior-driven development, Cucumber is an open-sourced tool used to perform acceptance testing by running examples that describe the behavior of the application. By treating your application as a living and evolving being, you are given an equally evolving report with specification and test documentation.
Unfortunately, only supporting web development, Cucumber makes up for it by its ability to be used on frameworks like Selenium and Ruby and can support languages like Java, Scala and Groovy.
