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 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]
