Motivation
Differential Fuzzing enables unique methods of property-based testing between Systems Under Test (SUTs). The question has evolved from "what inputs crash my program" to "what inputs expose critical discrepancies between these two programs."
Implementation Synopsis
New Differential modules interact with each other on a per-case and per-SUT basis. New capabilities for core modules allow for fine-grained access control and config traversal, namely:
Spotlight on Differential Modules
The given Differential Feedback and Output modules consider "Differential" test results to be "any test case that resulted in different coverage statistics." This is a sane starting point for more complex or refined feedback mechanisms.
