In which of the following types of fuzz testing strategies the new data will be generated from scratch and the amount of data to be generated are predefined based on the testing model?

The correct answer is B. Generation-based fuzz testing. Generation-based fuzz testing is a strategy where new test data is generated from scratch based on a predefined model that specifies the structure, type, and format of the input data. This approach is systematic and relies on a deep understanding of the format and protocol of…

Explanation

Generation-based fuzz testing is a strategy where new test data is generated from scratch based on a predefined model that specifies the structure, type, and format of the input data. This approach is systematic and relies on a deep understanding of the format and protocol of the input data to create test cases that are both valid and potentially revealing of vulnerabilities. This contrasts with mutation-based fuzz testing, where existing data samples are modified (mutated) to produce new test cases, and log-based and protocol-based fuzz testing, which use different approaches to test software robustness and security.
