Evolutionary programming techniques for testing students' code
Cara K. MacNish · 2000
Tools for analysing student code offer great potential for enhancing student learning through informing both students and staff. One such tool, the datlab system, has been successfully employed in second year data structures courses and provides facilities for testing students' laboratory work, providing feedback to students, and assigning marks for completed tasks. While the system has proven successful, there is potential for significant improvement in the way that code is analysed and the quality of the feedback that is returned.
