Algorithm Testing Strategies

  1. Unit Testing: Test individual components of the algorithm.

    • Example: Test each step of a sorting algorithm.

  2. Edge Cases: Identify and test unusual or extreme inputs.

    • Example: Test a sorting algorithm with an empty list or one-element list.

  3. Random Inputs: Generate random inputs to test algorithm robustness.

    • Example: Test a search algorithm with randomly generated numbers.

  4. Performance Testing: Measure how the algorithm performs with large datasets.

    • Example: Time a sorting algorithm with 10,000 elements.
