Abstract
This paper describes a model and implementation of a system for automatically testing, evaluating, grading and providing critical feedback for the submitted programming assignments. Complete automation of the evaluation process, with proper attention towards monitoring student’s progress and performing a structured level analysis is addressed. The tool provides on-line support to both the evaluators and students with the level of granularity, flexibility and consistency that is difficult or impossible to achieve manually.
