Didactic aspects regarding to creating test sets for competition problems

Abstract

A correct evaluation and a qualitative separation of the participants is a major objective for any programming contest. The article examines this aspect from the perspective of the correct elaboration of the tests for the competition problems. Examples of tests analyzed in the article show the added value brought in the elaboration and solving of the competition problems. The article is focused on the elucidation of the methodological aspects regarding the elaboration of tests for the competition problems in the categories of Combinatorics and computational Geometry.
