Conference:
Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education 2008 (ITiCSE'08)

Abstract:
This demonstration introduces participants to using Web-CAT, an open-source automated grading system. Web-CAT is customizable and extensible, allowing it to support a wide variety of programming languages and assessment strategies. Web-CAT is most well-known as the system that "grades students on how well they test their own code," with experimental evidence that it offers greater learning benefits than more traditional output-comparison grading. Participants will learn how to set up courses, prepare reference tests, set up assignments, and allow graders to manually grade for design.
