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 (15[1])data is typically reserved (-5[1])for this task rather than training. (-5[1])The framework (*) JUnit is used to perform the “unit” (10[1])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■ (0[1])

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]
