Packet 10: Tossup 11

A form of this task that uses randomly-generated data is called “fuzzing.” (15[2])In software (15[1])engineering, (15[3]-5[1])code is (15[1])written in a manner (15[1])such that development (15[1]-5[1])is “driven” by this task. (15[1])Both this (15[1])task and validation (15[1])yield (-5[1])low accuracy (15[1]-5[1])for overfit (15[1])models. In machine learning, twenty percent of (15[1])data (-5[1])is typically reserved (-5[1])for this (15[1])task (15[2])rather than (15[1])training. (15[2]-5[2])The framework (-5[1])(*) JUnit is used (10[1])to perform the “unit” (10[1])form of this task on small pieces of code. This task often uses assert statements (10[1]-5[1])like assertTrue. Users manually (10[1])do the “beta” form of this task for software (10[1])pre-release. (10[2])For (10[1])10 points, name this task of checking (10[1])whether (10[1])code works. ■END■ (10[3]0[4])

ANSWER: testing [accept software testing or model testing; accept fuzz testing or test-driven development or testing data or unit tests or unit testing or beta tests or beta testing]
