Abstract

In this paper, an automated method for generation of tests in order to detect inefficient (slow) solutions for programming challenge tasks is proposed. The method is based on genetic algorithms. The proposed method was applied to a task from the Internet problem archive - the Timus Online Judge. For this problem, none of the existed solutions passed the generated set of tests.
