[Justin Clift]

Fuzzy testing has been added to SQLite's standard testing strategy.

Wonder if it'd be useful for us too... ?

There is at least one instance of AFL running against SQLite continuously, 24/7/365, trying new randomly mutated inputs against SQLite at a rate of a few hundred to a few thousand per second. Billions of inputs have been tried, but AFL's instrumentation has narrowed them down to less than 20,000 test cases that cover all distinct behaviors. Newly discovered test cases are periodically captured and added to the TCL test suite."
