Code Coverage uses → 100% 2e
Coverage-guided greybox fuzzing uses code coverage to guide the selection of inputs to save.
Fuzzing Corpus uses → 100% 2e
Coverage-guided greybox fuzzing builds and evolves a corpus of test inputs that maximize code coverage.
Guiding Greybox Fuzzing with Mutation Testing ← compares with 100% 2e
