How should I do stress testing of my solution during a contest?

Revision en1, by leafvillageninja, 2020-04-26 20:19:33

In today's contest, I got a WA in problem 3. So I thought of doing a stress testing of my solution, but my workflow was so slow that it took me around 1 hour to debug my code. Is there anything I should improve so that I can do such debugging fastly in contests? I am describing the steps I did: I wrote a brute force solution. I wrote code for randomly generating the test cases. I then ran both the solutions I had against the generated test-cases. I then used https://www.diffchecker.com/ to find the difference between both the outputs. I then opened the randomly generated tests file (which had 300+ test cases) and then navigated to the test case for which the output was different. Then I ran that particular test case separately and did the debugging.
