We are pleased to announce that the Testing and Fuzzing Microconference has been accepted into the 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference! Testing and fuzzing are crucial to the stability that the Linux kernel demands.

Last year’s microconference brought about a number of discussions; for example, syzkaller evolved as syzbot, which keeps track of fuzzing efforts and the resulting fixes. The closing ceremony pointed out all the work that still has to be done: There are a number of overlapping efforts, and those need to be consolidated. The use of KASAN should be increased. Where is fuzzing going next? With real-time moving forward from “if” to “when” in the mainline, how does RT test coverage increase? The unit-testing frameworks may need some unification. Also, KernelCI will be announced as an LF project this time around. Stay around for the KernelCI hackathon after the conference to help further those efforts.

Come and join us for the discussion!

We hope to see you there!
