Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] advanced randpkt/fuzz testing?

[Thomas Anders <thomas.anders@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The current randpkt/fuzz testing, although already *very* useful, probably 
always runs tethereal with default options. However, a significant amount of 
dissector code is only executed if some corresponding preference settings are 
enabled/disabled or have a certain value. Thus, AFAICS, those parts of the code 
are currently not covered at all by the fuzz/randpkt testing.

Can this be improved? My initial idea was to
- add a test scenario that also adds some sort of fuzz to the preference 
settings (i.e. always changes them slightly)?
- have more people run randpkt/fuzz testing themselves with *their* current 
(non-default) preference settings

Thoughts?
