Curator is an automated programming assignment grading system developed at Virginia Tech by Bill McQuain. Unlike Web-CAT, a similar project also developed at Virginia Tech, Curator supports a greater variety of programming languages, instead of just C++ and Java, and has no support for student written tests.
Curator was developed in the late 1990s, and in most courses, Curator has been phased out in favor of Web-CAT or assignment submission systems built in to Moodle or Scholar, but it continues to be used in a few Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science courses.
The Curator system is licensed under a custom license with language based closely upon that of the GPL, but it is not equivalent and the license is not recognized by the Free Software Foundation.[1]
