- Fuzz testing involves throwing random inputs at code to uncover bugs, especially corner cases.
- It provides peace of mind by verifying software correctness under varied conditions.
- For a circular queue, fuzz testing randomizes enqueue and dequeue operations over many rounds.
- The test independently tracks queue state to verify the queue's internal logic (full/empty counts, dequeued values).
- Fuzz testing can catch edge cases like wraparound without explicitly coding for them.
- The author provides a C implementation of fuzz testing for a circular queue with assertions and summary statistics.
- Logging is recommended for reproducing crashes.
