Question for problemsetters regarding number of test cases in input.

Revision en2, by KemoCode, 2021-06-18 20:45:15

I've seen a lot of problems where the input does not take into account a variable t for a number of test cases per code execution and I would like to ask why? For example today's E1 in Round 726 Div 2, why does it not for example include a t variable with the added constraint of "It is guaranteed that the sum of n,k over all test cases does not exceed 5000" or something like that? It seems like there is no advantage to not including test cases and that it only leads to weaker pre-tests.
