Come to think of it, there is something similar that Xsmith can do with parametric randomness, where it can change just one small choice in the chain of decisions that made a random program. It’s a library developed by a previous masters student at the research lab, and it’s called Clotho: https://docs.racket-lang.org/clotho/index.html.

The idea is to enable feedback directed fuzzing for a senantically valid random program generator. I believe that adding this to the Wasm fuzzer is the ‘next step’ in the ongoing research.

So not quite swarm testing, but a bit closer in terms of focused fuzzing instead of a shotgun approach.
