Re:Launch HN: Fuzzbuzz (YC W19) – Fuzzing as a Service by evmunro on Wednesday February 27, 2019 @04:35PM (#19267171)
Memory security issues have been the main focus of fuzzing, but it's really useful for other use cases as well, such as: slowness/hangs, assert failures, panics, excessive resource consumption and DOS attacks. We've also done some work with Go to detect race conditions while fuzzing.

You can also do differential fuzzing to compare 2 different implementations that solve the same problem, or fuzz for invariant violations/assertion failures. I think the possibilities extend far beyond just memory safety, and I'm really looking forward to finding other areas in which fuzzing is applicable.

Have you guys run FuzzBuzz against FuzzBuzz? If so, how many bugs did you find?
