Fuzzing is a technique to intelligently generate arbitrary input for a program in order to find bugs in it. cargo fuzz promises a very simple way to fuzz a cargo project using LibFuzzer, a coverage-guided, evolutionary fuzzing engine. Since I had just done a change in the parsing module of Rust’s regex crate, I thought I’d try fuzzing that and see what happens.https://www.nibor.org/blog/integration-testing-a-service-written-in-rust-and-iron/Tue, 27 Dec 2016 23:27:11 +1100https://www.nibor.org/blog/integration-testing-a-service-written-in-rust-and-iron/I recently wrote a small (you could say micro) web service in Rust using the Iron framework. It had some unit tests but I wasn’t all too sure whether I was using Iron the right way. So I wanted to have some more tests in the project to cover these parts as well. This post shows how to go from a simple binary to a project with integration tests, all written in Rust.https://www.nibor.org/blog/hello-world/Sat, 10 Dec 2016 15:34:09 +1100https://www.nibor.org/blog/hello-world/fn main() { println!("Hello world!"); }
