# OSS-Fuzz Glossary
**WORK-IN-PROGRESS**
Naming things is hard.<BR>
This page tries to reduce confusion around fuzz-related terminology.
@ -14,6 +16,18 @@ Examples: [openssl](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/fuzz/x509.c),
A Fuzz Target can and should also be used for regression testing
and for reproducing bug reports, see [ideal integration](ideal_integration.md).
## Library Configuration
???Any better name???
OSS-Fuzz-specific term. <BR>
OSS-Fuzz applies fuzzing to [Fuzz Targets](#fuzz-target)
that test APIs of some specific opensource library
(or sometimes, internal functions of some application).
One library may have more than one Fuzz Target
(example: [openssl](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/fuzz/)),
but OSS-Fuzz will have a single set of configuration files for such library.
This is what we call **Library Configuration**.
## Fuzzing Engine
A program that tries to find interesting inputs for a Fuzz Target by executing it.
