Abstract
In recent years, technological advances in various fields of human activity have enabled the development of smart city applications that can help improve life in modern cities. In order to validate that the functional requirements of the applications are met and, above all, to ensure security and resilience against vulnerabilities and constantly evolving cyber threats, it is imperative that these applications are adequately tested before being put into operation. The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of the use of fuzz testing to test the stability, correctness and security of applications and information systems that are applicable in the smart city domain. The paper presents an analysis of the possibilities of using different types of fuzz testing and maps the different fuzz testing tools that are applicable in implementation projects in different areas of smart cities. Furthermore, a testing method for the use of fuzz testing is proposed and presented. This method is then validated using a set of proposed tests and outputs for a selected project.
