This way I find bugs that no one else finds. For example, I forked the project https://github.com/pixel/hexedit and tried to find errors. I found many, such as what happens if you try to load a very long filename, what happens if you try to load a very large file, etc. I fixed them all, but because maintaner didn't accept my first patch, I didn't carry on. If anyone is interested in me testing their patch, I would love to do it. Now I'm reading LINUX KERNEL DEBUGGING book (written by Kaiwan N Billimoria) and I'm on chapter about strace and some tools like lttng, so I can use these tools mentioned on book to test patches. --=20 Un saludo/Regards Oscar Megia L=C3=B3pez
