-# Choosing initial test cases
-
-To operate correctly, the fuzzer requires one or more starting file that
-contains a good example of the input data normally expected by the targeted
-application. There are two basic rules:
-
-  - Keep the files small. Under 1 kB is ideal, although not strictly necessary.
-    For a discussion of why size matters, see [perf_tips.md](perf_tips.md).
-
-  - Use multiple test cases only if they are functionally different from
-    each other. There is no point in using fifty different vacation photos
-    to fuzz an image library.
-
-You can find many good examples of starting files in the testcases/ subdirectory
-that comes with this tool.
-
-PS. If a large corpus of data is available for screening, you may want to use
-the afl-cmin utility to identify a subset of functionally distinct files that
-exercise different code paths in the target binary.
