Web-CAT
,no edit summary
'''Web-CAT''' is an automated programming assignment grading system developed at Virginia Tech with a focus on grading using student-written tests. It has support for C++ and Java, and was primarily developed by [[Stephen Edwards]] and is licensed under the AGPL.
Most [[Computer Science]] courses that use automated grading now use Web-CAT.
==Criticism==Many students have complained of problems with Web-CAT, due to features like style-checking on by default without any listed style guidelines, and have cited the project's large number of unresolved bugs<ref>[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=142064&atid=754973]</ref>. Often, when students complain of problems, they are told that because Web-CAT is open source, they should simply fix the problem themself instead of complaining. Other students have cited slow grading and a difficult-to-use user interface as making Web-CAT incredibly frustrating to use. ==See Alsoalso==
