Description

One of the most primary types of test we use to ensure that the library works well is unit testing.
We can't rely on only these tests, as there is a big probability of human errors.

Fuzz testing is a good candidate which could help us to make the package more tolerant to randomized/invalid data inputs.

There are some platforms that offer continuous fuzzing

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing unit tests, then read the linked go-fuzz documentation and continuous-fuzzing platforms. Define which randomized or invalid inputs should be exercised and how fuzzing would run for this Go library; the work is done when an agreed fuzz-testing approach is implemented and documented.
