Round 10: Tossup 11
A form of this task that uses randomly-generated data is called “fuzzing.” In software engineering, code is written in a manner such that development is “driven” by this task. Both this task and validation yield low accuracy for overfit models. In machine learning, twenty percent of data is typically reserved for this task rather than training. The framework (*) JUnit is used to perform the “unit” form of this task on small pieces of code. This task often uses assert statements like assertTrue. Users manually do the “beta” form of this task for software pre-release. For 10 points, name this task of checking whether code works. ■END■
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]
