Abstract

A computer-implemented method for selecting a fuzzing method for carrying out fuzzing testing of a predefined program code. The method includes: providing one or multiple reference performance metrics that characterize the result of reference fuzzing testing of the program code to be tested, using a reference fuzzing method; carrying out fuzzing tests, based on various fuzzing methods, on the predefined program code in order to ascertain one or multiple performance metrics in each case; selecting one or multiple fuzzing methods corresponding to the associated performance metrics, as a function of the reference performance metric; and carrying out fuzzing testing corresponding to the one or multiple selected fuzzing methods.
