Very neat! Generally speaking, it seems like testing and debugging, hasn't been getting as much love as other aspects of computer programmeing.

Debuggers still work pretty much the same as gdb, only now with an integrated UI, and there's so much room for improvement. This is a great start and can be taken much further with abilities to mimic complete sessions to easily reproduce bugs and run them again and again until fixed.

We see the same at the related testing automation field (disclaimer - checksum.ai founder). Same testing methods, same testing problems, only fancier packages.

Testing gets a lot of love, at least in theory. Much less in practice because it is a whole lot of extra work.

As for checksum.ai, is it some kind of fuzzer? I think fuzz-testing is under utilized, in fact, many of my colleagues don't even know that it exists, and I have never been on a project where it was done. Generally, fuzzing is done in the context of security, but I see no reason why it should be limited to it.

Not exactly (disclaimer - on the checksum team). Our goal is to generate end to end tests that mimic user behavior, using real production sessions to train our models. These end to end tests could then be run during development, effectively smoking out real potential bugs before your latest deployment makes it into production. Of course, part of the generated tests could involve fuzz testing if it makes sense (if there is a form field, input, etc.)
