[Martyn Thomas]

Then why does the blog entry you linked to in your earlier email say:

/The last decade has seen fuzzing grow to dominate the headlines around
software reliability and testing, and provide data for people who write
evidence-based books. I don’t have much of a feel for how widely used it
is in industry, but it is a very useful tool for reliability researchers/?

I don't understand the link to reliability
