I have at least those factors in mind:
+ f1: number of elements
- in {10^3, 10^4, 10^5, 10^6, 10^7}
+ f2: key comparators measured by cpu cost
- in {1, 10, 100+};
+ f3: data distribution
- in {uniform, Gussian, 95% sorted, 95% reverse sorted}
+ f4: data value range
- in {2, 32, 1024, unlimited}: radix sort might be better for small
range
The element size doesn't matter since the main usage of our qsort is
on pointer array. Element data type is covered by f2 and f4.
This will gives us a 5*3*4*4 = 240 tests ...
