alt Hacker NewsI read the first part of this article, then gave up and Googled "Test-case Reducers".
I'm not sure if that's an article failure (that I didn't want to read a whole ton of text and C code details), or a success (as it got me interested in the topic). I guess both?

It's answered pretty early on:
>> Test-case reducers try to reduce the length of an input
If that still doesn't answer the question, try this extension:
>> Test-case reducers try to reduce the length of an [error causing or interesting] input
