Naming things is hard. This page tries to reduce confusion around naming.

## Fuzz Target**

## Fuzz Target
|

Or **Target Function** or **Fuzzing Target Function**.<BR>
|
||||
A function to which we apply fuzzing.
|
||||
A [specific signature](libfuzzer.info#fuzz-target) must be used for OSS-Fuzz.

A Fuzz Target can and should also be used for regression testing
|

and for reproducing bug reports, see [ideal integration](ideal_integration.md).

## Fuzzing Engine
|
||||
|
||||
A program that tries to find interesting inputs for a Fuzz Target by executing it.
|
||||
Examples: [libFuzzer](http://lbfuzzer.info),
|
||||
[AFL](lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/),
|
||||
[honggfuzz](https://github.com/google/honggfuzz), etc

See also [#mutation-engine] and [#test-generator].

## Test Input
|
||||
Or **reproducer**, or **testcase**.
|
||||
A sequence of bytes that is used as the input to a Fuzz Target.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mutation Engine
|
||||
A tool that take a set of testcases
|
||||
and creates their mutations, but do not directly feed the mutations to Fuzz Targets.
|
||||
Example [Radamsa](https://github.com/aoh/radamsa),
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Generator
|
||||
A tool that generates testcases
|
||||
|
||||
## Fuzzer
|
||||
|
||||
The most overloaded term, which makes it bad (maybe, we should try avoiding it?).
|
||||
Sometimes the "Fuzzer" is referred to a Fuzz Target, sometimes to a Fuzzing Engine, Mutation Engine, or a Test Generator.
|
||||
Sometimes to a binary built from a Fuzz Target using some of the Fuzzing Engine and optionally with some dynamic testing tool.
