Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. Fuzz testing or fuzzing is an automated software testing method that injects invalid, malformed, or unexpected inputs into a system to reveal software defects and vulnerabilities. A fuzzing tool injects these inputs into the system and then monitors for exceptions such as crashes or information leakage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fuzzing, or fuzz testing [32], is a testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random inputs for hardware or software and monitoring the result for exceptions, such as crashes, failing built-in code assertions, or memory leaks.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main types of fuzzing: coverage-guided and behavioral. Coverage-guided fuzzing focuses on the source code while the app is running, probing it with random input in an effort to uncover bugs. New tests are constantly being generated and the goal is to get the app to crash.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fuzzing, or fuzz testing, is defined as an automated software testing method that uses a wide range of invalid and unexpected data as input to find flaws in the software undergoing the test.
