MicroGP (µGP, ugp) is an evolutionary tool created around 2001. Over the years it has been exploited as a coverage-driven fuzzer, as a general-purpose optimizer, and as a framework for prototyping and testing new ideas. Some hundreds documents discussing it and possible application can be found in the scientific literature. [read more]

⚠️ MicroGP4 v2.0 is currently in pre-alpha and under active development

This repo is only useful if you want to hack the code (see: CONTRIBUTING).
For using MicroGP4 read the instructions.

Notes

  • The default branch is always the more stable
  • Do not clone experimental branches exp/* unless you know what you are doing
  • Follow the style guide
  • It may be wise to contact Alberto or Giovanni
