Proposal: Integrate Visdom with OSS-Fuzz for Continuous Fuzz Testing

[Shivam7-1]

Hello @JackUrb

I hope you're doing well! I’d like to propose integrating Visdom Google's OSS-Fuzz a continuous fuzz testing platform aimed at improving the stability and security of open-source projects.

Why Integrate Visdom with OSS-Fuzz?

1. Enhanced Stability: OSS-Fuzz can identify potential crashes, memory issues, and edge-case bugs in the Visdom codebase.
2. Improved Code Quality: Continuous fuzzing ensures that untrusted inputs are handled robustly, leading to a more reliable user experience.
3. Proactive Bug Detection: OSS-Fuzz finds issues before they impact users, reducing the chances of regressions.

Benefits for Visdom

• Continuous Testing: Fuzzing runs automatically, ensuring that the codebase is always tested against a variety of inputs.
• Early Bug Detection: OSS-Fuzz reports issues directly to maintainers, allowing them to address bugs proactively.

I’d be happy to set up the initial integration and work with you to ensure it aligns with the project’s goals. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Best regards,

Hi @JackUrb,

I hope you’re doing well!

I’d like to propose integrating Visdom with Google’s OSS-Fuzz
— a continuous fuzz testing platform designed to improve the stability and security of open-source projects.

Why integrate Visdom with OSS-Fuzz

Enhanced stability: Detects crashes, memory issues, and edge-case bugs automatically.

Improved code quality: Continuous fuzzing helps ensure that untrusted inputs are handled safely and consistently.

Proactive bug detection: Issues are found and reported before they reach users, reducing regressions.

Benefits for Visdom

Continuous automated testing: OSS-Fuzz runs fuzzers regularly, keeping the project resilient against unexpected inputs.

Early, private bug reports: Maintainers receive detailed reports directly from Google’s fuzzing infrastructure.

I’d be happy to draft the initial OSS-Fuzz integration (build configuration, fuzz targets, and documentation) and collaborate to align it with the project’s roadmap.

Please let me know your thoughts or if there are any prerequisites or concerns before proceeding.

Best regards,
Bharath CD
