• fuzzing techniques
• remotization protocol
• automate testing

This thesis will present what was done during the four months internship, started in November 2017, that took place in NICE, an Amazon Web Services company. NICE has its headquarter in Asti and a branch in Pula, near Cagliari. I was in the office of Asti, as part of the DCV team, which was at that time composed of eight people with three software developers working from the office of Pula. The purpose of this internship was to detect some particular types of bugs, such as assertion failures and memory leaks. A further goal was also to check that the applications could correctly manage invalid input, to guarantee that the error-handling routine was working well. Finally, we wanted to have an automatic testing tool that can be used as a component of the pipeline of the continuous integration. Each time the fuzzers found one of the problems listed above, one member of the team had to fix it to avoid the next fuzzing sessions to detect again the problem already found.
