Automark++ a case tool to automatically mark student java programs

الملخص EN

The quality assessment of a computer program is a critical process for ensuring its effectiveness.

In this paper, an easy to apply tool, AUTOMARK + +, is introduced to automatically evaluate the Java programs.

The marking of a program under evaluation is based on its style.

AUTOMARK + + is based on Redish and Smyth tool called AUTOMARK [12].

Two modifications were made to the AUTOMARK : First, new factors have been introduced to give the new tool flexibility in evaluating object-oriented languages such as Java.

Second, the new tool automatically generates a model template for program evaluation instead of writing a specific model for each program under evaluation.

AUTOMARK + + has been tested on simple and complex programs and the obtained results showed that the tool is considerably useful.
