GraphicsFuzz is a service company intended to develop a framework for ‎reliability and security testing of the Android graphics drivers. It was ‎highlighted by the XDA Developers right at the day when Google announced ‎the news of Android 9 Pie released. ‎
A spokesperson of the Google affirmed the news but did not provide further ‎information related to the contract and price. ‎
The team of GraphicsFuzz, including the co-founder Alastair Donaldson, Paul ‎Thomson and Hugues Evrard and will be the part of the team established to ‎text the Android graphics technology – the Android ecosystem. ‎

What is GraphicsFuzz?‎

It is the pioneering technology based on the combination of metamorphic ‎testing and fuzzing in order to obtain a rapid method of graphics drivers ‎testing automatically. The technology detects and fixes errors and bugs which ‎can compromise security and reliability before the users get affected by it. ‎
While the acquisition of the driver-testing services is not a splashy new but it is ‎an important one. It is because Android is getting more sophisticated and ‎optimized in its graphics.‎
The graphics drivers are one of the most important facture of the Android ‎ecosystem which makes the smart devices work better. It is the thing which is ‎noticed by the users at first glance. ‎
The most critical is that a broken graphics link can potentially expose the ‎phone to security threats. ‎
The amazing fact about GraphicsFuzz is that uses the same technique of ‎fuzzing which throws plenty of data at a specific program randomly. The ‎method is getting higher popularity in the field of software development.‎
