Testing Hackathon
Details
Hello Rustilians!
I'm pleased to announce a Testing-focused Hackathon on Saturday May 10 in San Francisco, which will be another double feature that is paired with our meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Rust-Bay-Area/events/169434302/). While we haven't finalized what exactly we want to focus on during the hackathon, here are a number of things that we think would be really helpful to work on during our get together:
• Building a fuzzer
• Building a reducer
• Building a git-bisect helper
• Given binary and test case, how do I tell this binary exhibited a bug? (API to plug in when fuzzing, reducing, or bisecting)
• Pretty printer maintenance
• Working on Andrew Gallant's QuickCheck (https://github.com/BurntSushi/quickcheck).
• Macros to help implement Arbitrary (like |match| but randomly chooses a branch, weighted or unweighted)
• Macro that generates random AST
• Bors work
As always, Mozilla will be graciously providing food and drink while we work. I hope you can make it!
