Semi-automatic testing of program codes in the high school student maturity exam
Pages 564 - 569
Abstract
An automatic testing environment for the evaluation of maturity exam solutions in programming in Lithuanian high schools has been developed. The environment was adjusted to be applied also for manual evaluation of program constructs and programming style. In this paper we present a study of programs designed by the students during the maturity exam in the spring of 2010. We performed a qualitative analysis of 92 Pascal programs written by 77 students and estimated that the automated testing is not enough to evaluate the skills and knowledge of the students
