Fuzzing is 'Beta Ready' — Two years ago, there was an article (Why Go Fuzzing?) explaining why fuzz testing should become an official part of the Go toolchain and we’re pretty close to that being the case with this special ‘dev.fuzz’ development branch. You can play with it right now, with a little work, but you’ll need to wait a while for it to land in an official release.
