Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Algorithm Design And Problem Solving (Section 7 - No. 25)
What is the main goal of using test data when refining an algorithm?
To test and verify that your algorithm works perfectly.
To create a flowchart.
To determine the minimum number of data points needed for execution.
To identify errors that may exist and verify all conditions.
Explication
Testing and refinement are necessary steps to ensure the algorithm correctly handles all possible inputs and conditions.
