I was thinking a library to generate fuzzed inputs that you could use in normal tests. It's good to hear that it's not limited to strings.

In fact that's what the post tells you with respect to type compatibility: > types which implement the BinaryMarshaler and TextMarshaler interfaces are supported these are just tools to convert from/to binary (unstructured or utf8).

    Are you sure it's random bytes? Some fuzzers start with a given input and then mutate it to increase coverage of the code under test.

A library can't get coverage feedback from the SUT, which as I wrote in my previous comment would be why you'd be building a dedicated test framework.
