Optimal way to isolate an error

24 Views Asked by At

I do not know the technical name of this problem but it goes something like this:

I have N modules and n of them are faulty. I can test for faults m modules at a time (testing m modules at once takes the same time as testing 1 module at a time)

What is the best strategy?

What if n is not known but it is defined by a probability function?
