hi everyone,

first of all, i'm not a developer (tried it several times...) but i have a good technical knowledge, i think.

so i don't know weather you know fuzzing tools. Here you get some information & ideas from what i mean:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzz_testing
http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/ ... res/100674
http://www.linux.com/feature/118126
http://www.milw0rm.com/papers/239

for me, fuzzing tools seam to be an ideal opportunity to detect and fix problems and stability issues. i could imagine a desktop environment fuzzer to detect problems/bugs, especially for apps like koffice or plasma. everthing could be automated by using scripts with the aim to bomb these apps with nonsense input (incl. backtrack/backtrace or whatever its name is...)
i googled a bit and i just found a very old posting on a strange mailing list. so it seems that noone else already came up with this idea in the past
what do you think? or is it a really bad idea? don't know, just wanted to ask and give some input

best regards!
