Abstract

Using the automated code-checking capability of the WebToTeach system, we have built WebToTest, a system for administering on-line programming examination.The system successfully addresses many of the issues raised by recent work in on-line exams by providing reliable automatic checking of exam questions and a secure, restricted programming environment useable by the students during the exam. Its web-based character makes it amenable to distance education applications. Furthermore, because examinations may be administered on any collection of computers that provide a browser, and thus do not require reservation of the student programming labs.
