Constructive Alignment of Web Programming Assignments and Automated Assessment with Unit Testing

Abstract

In this paper, we present an automated assessment system for web programming assignments. The system has been designed to enable the alignment of teaching and industrial practises by using current unit testing practises for assessment. It has been implemented using a unit testing framework, comes with an example set of assignments, and integrates with common Learning Management Systems (LMS) using the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) interface.
