MonkeyFuzz Description

The MonkeyFuzz program was developed to stress test an applications User Interface. It pretends to be a "monkey" on the keyboard, sending random button press and mouse events to a program. MonkeyFuzz primarily sends random keyboard and mouse events to a program, but it can record the actions along the way. This allows them to be replayed useful for regression testing). What should you look for when running? Let the application run for a while with Monkey on the keyboard. Then stop the monkey and check that your application. It should not have crashed, or gotten locked into a screen. Check task manager: It should not be consuming huge amounts of memory, have a large number of threads or handles. If you find problems with your program, you should diagnose the problem. Dangers It is possible that if you use this program incorrectly -- or the program you are testing has dangerous operations -- you can do some real damage to your system. It might be something you can fix by turning your computer off and on. Or it may be delete files. I have taken care to make sure that this won't be destructive testing, but hey, no guarantees.
