Fuzz testing in Eclipse? Rule based fuzzer in 'Run As…"

Question

Does anyone know of a way to create fuzz testers within Eclipses 'Run' or 'Debug' tool?

I'm thinking of running some Java programs with fuzz arguments but want the best/cleanest way to generate the input within Eclipse. Do I do this with the 'Variables' option?

If there is no way to do this within Eclipse, I may have to resort to the commandline, right?

Answer 1

You can use ${string_prompt} variable in program arguments for your app launch configuration in Eclipse.

Though a better way would be to create an automated driver that will launch your program and check the output. You can use parametrized test with JUnit or TestNG or write a simple wrapper Java application.
