# Developing Oragono

Most development happens on the `develop` branch, which is occasionally rebased + merged into `master` when it's not incredibly broken. When this happens, the `develop` branch is usually pruned until I feel like making 'unsafe' changes again.

The intent is to keep `master` relatively stable.


## Fuzzing and Testing

Fuzzing can be useful. We don't have testing done inside the IRCd itself, but this fuzzer I've written works alright and has helped shake out various bugs: [irc_fuzz.py](https://gist.github.com/DanielOaks/63ae611039cdf591dfa4).

In addition, I've got the beginnings of a stress-tester here which is useful:

As well, there's a decent set of 'tests' here, which I like to run Oragono through now and then:
