"[Jinx] uses a fuzzy testing strategy to vary the timing of thread execution in a parallel program in order to force concurrency errors to happen, since parallel code that includes concurrency errors may run successfully for years, and only fail once in a blue moon. Jinx can summon up a blue moon in order to trap these hard-to-find bugs."
