## What it is
An interactive online textbook on automated software testing and fuzzing, with executable code available as Jupyter notebooks, web pages, slides, and a pip-installable Python package. It covers techniques for automatically generating software tests, from random fuzzing to grammar-based and constraint-based test generation.

## Use cases
- learn software testing and fuzzing techniques
- generate test cases automatically for my python code
- teach a course on software testing or security testing
- find bugs in my program with fuzzing
- use grammar-based fuzzers in my own projects
- experiment with fuzzing in the browser via jupyter notebooks

## When to choose
- you want to learn or teach automated test generation and fuzzing
- you need reusable Python fuzzing tools you can pip install
- you prefer executable, interactive textbook material in Jupyter notebooks

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade fuzzing platform for large-scale continuous testing
- you need a non-Python fuzzing toolchain
- you need a permissively licensed book text (the book is CC BY-NC-SA)

- function: testing, fuzzing, parser, developer-tools
- domain: testing, security, developer-tools, tutorials, education
- platform: python, browser, cli
