Description

Quickchecking of domains (issue #84) serves as a good starting point for fuzzing as well. Ideally, the same set of properties should work with AFL replacing the role of generating arbitrary inputs.

There seems to be a qcheck-like OCaml library for fuzzing: https://github.com/stedolan/crowbar. Also a corresponding tutorial: https://tarides.com/blog/2019-09-04-an-introduction-to-fuzzing-ocaml-with-afl-crowbar-and-bun. it may be an unnecessary dependency though, didn't look too deep into it.


@vogler's tests with afl-fuzz: https://github.com/goblint/analyzer/blob/wip/afl/src/afl.ml.

Research direction

Start with issue #84 to understand the existing Quickchecking of domains and review @vogler's AFL work in src/afl.ml. Read the Crowbar documentation and linked tutorial to compare the available approaches. Done means the relevant domain properties can be exercised with AFL-based input generation without an unnecessary dependency.
