I have recently been thinking of the difference between fuzz testing and monkey test. According to wiki, it seems monkey test is “only” a unit test and fuzz test isn’t. Android has UI/Application Exerciser monkey and it doesn’t seems like unit test.
Is there any difference between these testing methods?
UI/Application Exerciser Monkey is a fuzz testing tool. The name is probably related to the fact that it behaves as if a monkey uses your application. It might be also related to the fact that (from Wikipedia):
The bottom line is that Monkey test and Fuzz testing are different names for essentially the same thing. However, there might be one subtle difference: while Fuzz testing is more about using random data, Monkey testing is about random actions.
