Program for Automated Checking of Programming Assignments

Current work is dedicated to automation of processes of programming assignments assessment. In this paper, we provide a list of criteria which can be used during the grading of assignments. We also observed various approaches of source code analysis and different approaches of testing of programs behavior, which includes software build from source code besides actual launching. We designed an approach to automated checking of programming assignments, based on the examined approaches of software verification and software building and testing automation using continuous integration technique The aim of the work is a program which provides an ability to support various criteria of assignment checking and also to perform assessment of such criteria. The program aims to reduce amount of time spent on manual assessment and to reduce the gap between submitting an assignment and its assessment. The built solution uses a continuous integration tool called Jenkins and has a web-interface for interacting with a user. The paper contains 63 pages, 3 chapters, 6 illustrations, 8 tables, 59 bibliography items, 5 appendices. Keywords: assessment automation, checking automation, software assignments checking, software assignments assessment.
