Jubair Al-Jáafer, Khair Eddin Sabri · The International Arab Journal of Information Technology · 2005
The quality assessment of a computer program is a critical process for ensuring its effectiveness. In this paper, an easy to apply tool, AUTOMARK++, is introduced to automatically evaluate the Java programs. The marking of a program under evaluation is based on its style. AUTOMARK++ is based on R edish and Smy th tool called AUTOMARK (12). Two modifications were made to the AUTOMARK: First, new factors have been introduced to give the new tool flexibility in evaluating object-oriented languages such as Java. Second, the new tool automatically generates a mo del template for program evaluation instead of writing a specific model for each program under evaluation. AUTOMARK++ has been tested on simple and complex programs and the obtained results showed that the tool is considerably useful.
