My best practice would be to provide students with test cases and require them to submit additional test cases with their code. Then run everyone's test cases against everyone's code. Let the students know that they will get extra credit if their tests break anyone's code. That will put them in a mindset of creating tough tests and writing bullet-proof code, rather than stopping when the pass the provided tests.
Should test cases be made available to students for assessed assignments?

A number of the assignments">assignments I've completed during the course of my undergraduate degree have been assessed partially using automated tests. These have never been available to students prior to the assignment submission, but I know this isn't the case at some universities. It would seem difficult to me to get less than 100% if all the test cases used for grading were released prior to the assignment deadline (provided the student gave enough time to the assignment).
In some cases, the feedback I've received has indicated that my submission failed a number of automated tests - but the test cases were never made available to students and I was left unsure as to what I had done wrong in my work and how I could improve next time.
In other cases, the test cases were made available after the assignment grades were released. I much preferred this approach, because I could see exactly where I'd gone wrong and the whole process felt fairer.
Should automated test cases be released and if so, at what point should they be released?
