New Fuzz Testing Article
I’m ecstatic (yes, that’s really the only way to describe it) that my third feature article is in this month’s MSDN magazine – http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/11/FUZZTesting/default.aspx. Why? Well, for one thing, getting anything published is a huge privilege, but especially in a publication like that. For another thing, MSDN’s yearly security issue always rocks, and this one is no exception. And – I received some excellent feedback on this article while writing it, and so it’s better than I could have accomplished otherwise, and that’s cool. Finally, the topic is timely.
The topic is extending Visual Studio Team Edition for Testers to perform security fuzz testing. I show how to write a Test Interface Provider and demonstrate one approach to “fuzzing”.
