Hi all you geeks writing your own Max externals, 

does anyone use fuzz testing, i.e. bombarding an object with all kinds of messages and parameters?

This greatly improves stability because it will find out if all the checks for illegal parameter values are in place in your code (instead of letting a user stumble upon them).

- inspect a Max object to get a list of all messages/attributes, 

- set and send them with different parameter types, values, sizes

It should be easy to do in a patch: 
- inspect a Max object to get a list of all messages/attributes, 
- set and send them with different parameter types, values, sizes
