+/**
+Fuzz test for the incremental indxer.
+
+The fuzz test uses fuzzcheck, a coverage-guided fuzzer.
+See https://github.com/loiclec/fuzzcheck-rs and https://fuzzcheck.neocities.org
+for more information.
+
+It is only run when using the `cargo fuzzcheck` command line tool, which can be installed with:
+```sh
+cargo install cargo-fuzzcheck
+```
+To start the fuzz test, run (from the base folder or from milli/):
+```sh
+cargo fuzzcheck update::facet::incremental::fuzz::fuzz
+```
+and wait a couple minutes to make sure the code was thoroughly tested, then
+hit `Ctrl-C` to stop the fuzzer. The corpus generated by the fuzzer is located in milli/fuzz.
+
+To work on this module with rust-analyzer working properly, add the following to your .cargo/config.toml file:
+```toml
+[build]
+rustflags = ["--cfg",  "fuzzing"]
+```
+
+The fuzz test generates sequences of additions and deletions to the facet database and
+ensures that:
+1. its structure is still internally valid
+2. its content is the same as a trivially correct implementation of the same database
