Quick Start

  1. Install subcommand and add a dependency

    $ cargo add --dev bolero
    $ cargo install -f cargo-bolero
    
  2. Write a test using bolero::check! macro:

    pub fn buggy_add(x: u32, y: u32) -> u32 {
        if x == 12976 && y == 14867 {
            return x.wrapping_sub(y);
        }
        return x.wrapping_add(y);
    }
    
    #[test]
    fn fuzz_add() {
        bolero::check!()
            .with_type()
            .cloned()
            .for_each(|(a, b)| buggy_add(a, b) == a.wrapping_add(b));
    }
    
  3. Run the test with cargo bolero

    $ cargo bolero test fuzz_add
    
    # ... some moments later ...
