INTERFACE BASED PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENTS AND AUTOMATIC ASSESSMENT AND GRADING AS A SERVICE

As the knowledge base in the Computer Science is gr owing,many new programming languages are being introduced. On one hand the software industry,whil e hiring a computer programmer,expects him to be a proficient in computer programming. But on other ha nd there is deficiency of computer programmers who are skilled in programming. So to bridge this gap it�s crucial to assess the programming abilities of stud ents. Testing and grading programming assignments manuall y requires more time and are less efficient as far as its correctness is concerned. Today,many software systems are available for cond ucting choice based assessment that are capable of assessing a student�s knowledge but not his skills. We have implemented system for assessment which is based on programming assignments that are submitted by students. The system in turn compiles these programs online. After compiling it successfully th e teacher of the corresponding subject can test it using this system,and grades it based on how many tasks have been accomplished. This paper reports about the des ign and implementation of automatic assessment of progr amming assignments. Report of the sample usage of t his software system is included. https://www.ijiert.org/paper-details?paper_id=14033
