Overview

Mayhem is an autonomous application security platform for fast-moving development teams. It generates and runs thousands of tests against code and APIs and learns from each result to continually increase coverage. Mayhem uncovers bugs and vulnerabilities across every layer of applications, and gives developers verified, reproducible results so they can fix issues faster and ship safer applications. Teams at Cloudflare, Roblox, and the Department of Defense rely on Mayhem to identify and fix issues at machine speed and global scale.

The technology behind Mayhem
Mayhem uses a combination of techniques like fuzz testing, symbolic execution, and machine learning algorithms that create and execute thousands of tests every minute. These also continually prune duplicative tests and create additional inputs to expand coverage. This combination of techniques allows for rapid identification of issues; and ensures every result is actionable.

How Mayhem Fits in the Development Lifecycle
Mayhem’s continuous, ML-driven testing runs against feature or main branches to constantly uncover new issues. A test case for each issue is delivered to developers, who then leverage these minified test suites to verify fixes earlier in the development process, typically upon commits to working branches.
