Paper Abstract:
|
Assessments are an integral part of teaching and learning. To overcome the high manual effort for teaching personnel, e-assessment systems are used. We propose an extension of EASy, a system for e-assessment in computer science and mathematics sciences education. It offers the assessment of exercises that require higher-order cognitive skills. Our ex-tension allows assessing programming exercises in conjunction with state of the art software development, in particular test-driven-development and back-to-back testing. It integrates a tool for automated test case generation. Test cases are provided for students that upload their solution of programming exercises. They can use them to improve their solution and gain knowledge on software testing at the same time. Besides introducing our extension of EASy and distinguishing it from related work, we present an exemplary scenario. To prove the effectiveness of our approach, we discuss findings from a survey. It was conducted with almost 200 students from a programming lecture. The study provided us with both quantitative results and qualitative feedback. Most students reflected positively on using EASy. Our general approach is feasible. However, several details require further investigation. |
