Abstract

Improved utilization of spare resources for fuzz testing is provided. A production environment that includes a plurality of running applications having a plurality of user input fields is monitored over a period of time for consumer use. Actual usage data for the plurality of user input fields are determined during the period of time. Each user input field in the plurality of user input fields is ranked for fuzz testing based on, at least in part, the actual usage data corresponding to each respective user input field during the period of time. The fuzz testing is selectively performed on a portion of the plurality of user input fields based on user input field rankings.
