[TIP] Thoughts on Fuzz Testing

[Randy Syring]

I recently had a chat with my team about fuzz testing.  The thesis as 
proposed is:

> Fuzz tests are useful as tools for a developer to run manually which 
> help identify corner cases in the code not covered by 
> explicit-branch-based-unit-testing (feel free to help me with the term 
> I want here).  They should not run by default in an automated testing 
> suite (for performance & time considerations).  They should not be 
> used as an excuse for lazy developers to not write explicit tests 
> cases that sufficiently cover their code.

I'm in interested in feedback on the above.  Agree, disagree, and most 
importantly, why.

Thanks.
