We put many things to the test, but it costs money, and until very recently we haven't had a way to do this without a lot of human oversight. Now that we have https://github.com/antithesishq/antithesis-skills and LLMs are getting pretty reliably good at writing workloads, we are looking at ways to open up our technology to the OSS community. We have already started down that path with Etcd last year (https://etcd.io/blog/2025/autonomus_testing_with_antithesis/) and are working with various OSS groups to put more systems under test in a responsible way. I'm not gonna lie, though, you're hitting a sore point. I'm absolutely kicking myself for not putting SQLite under test when I joined. The first few projects I put under test after joining were all projects that had a few properties: 1. The project had a path to a commercial deal 2. The project likely had interesting bugs to find TBH, I didn't expect that one of the most widely used and well-tested pieces of software in existence would have a bug our fuzzer could find in 15 mins. (To be clear, this is not a hit on SQLite, just that our fuzzer is stupid good at finding race conditions. SQLite remains one of my favorite pieces of software ever.) With this in mind, are there other similar projects that I'm not thinking of that I should put under test? Before you ask, I'm already scaling up my SQLite harness to cover more of its state space and run against master. Maybe I'll find something novel in SQLite after all! Never too late to check. | ||
