The test is novel to the program, just not its programmer. So are we testing the program or are we actually testing its programmer? If we're testing the program, then the programmer's foreknowledge is irrelevant.
- lucubratory 3y ago>The test is novel to the program That's funny, I thought you said the test's answer was embedded into the program, making it definitionally not novel to the program. Anyway, this is boring. You've had five or more opportunities to understand what the word "novel" means in an ML testing context and are choosing wilful obtuseness instead.
