TY - CPAPER TI - A domain-specific language for dynamic white-box evaluation of Java assignments T2 - 5th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2024), Conference Proceedings VL - 122 AU - Caniço, A.

PY - 2024 SN - 2190-6807 DO - 10.4230/OASIcs.ICPEC.2024.2 CY - Lisboa UR - https://www.icpeconf.org AB - Programming exercises involving algorithms typically involve time and spatial constraints. Automated assessments for such implementations are often carried out in a black-box manner or through static analysis of the code, without considering the internal execution properties, which could lead to falsely positive evaluations of students' solutions. We present Witter, a domain-specific language for defining white-box test cases for the Java language. We evaluated programming assignment submissions from a Data Structures and Algorithms course against Witter’s test cases to determine if our approach could offer additional insight regarding incomplete algorithmic behaviour requirements. We found that a significant amount of student solutions fail to meet the desired algorithmic behavior (approx. 21%), despite passing black-box tests. Hence, we conclude that white-box tests are useful to achieve a thorough automated evaluation of this kind of exercises. ER -
