While the preceding examples are trivial, they do demonstrate the value of valgrind
as a testing tool. Should you choose to fuzz a program, valgrind can be a critical piece of
instrumentation that can help to quickly isolate memory problems, in particular, heapbased
buffer overflows, which manifest themselves as invalid reads and writes in
valgrind.

Fuzzing
Black box testing works because you can apply some external stimulus to a program and
observe how the program reacts to that stimulus.
