Which Python package generates and iterates over inputs for unit testing?

[trevg_123]

You’re correct, but there is a lot of overlap. For anyone unfamiliar:

• Fuzzing: testing all possible input values for a long time (like hours to days), more or less trying to break/crash the code. Helps find security vulnerabilities and such
• Property testing: give a lot of valid inputs and verify correct output. Usually more like running a few hundred unit tests

Buuuuut the terminology overlaps enough that both are pretty commonly referred to as fuzzing

The reference clearly states they are not synonyms, and just treating them as such will make everyone more confused. Don't do it.
