Hybrid Algorithms Grader

(Python 3, Python 2, Java, C/C++, C#, PHP ...)

This is a module for automatically testing homework solutions that has been used for giving feedback for homeworks and midterms for various first-year programming courses.

For the student, feedback provided by the module should be helpful for debugging and understanding where they went wrong.

For the teacher, the advantage over using normal unit tests is that it allows to move from purely-manual based input-output testing to a more structured and consistent framework that saves time.

Example

###Task statement Write Python function 'bubbleSort(list)' to sort N numbers in ascending order using Bubble sort

###Tester grade_function.py

from grader import decorators
from grader import utils

n = int(input())
for i in range(n):
    alist.append(int(input()))

###Correct Solution correct_solution.py

def bubbleSort(alist):
    for passnum in range(len(alist)-1,0,-1):
        for i in range(passnum):
            if alist[i]>alist[i+1]:
                temp = alist[i]
                alist[i] = alist[i+1]
                alist[i+1] = temp
    return alist

Setup

Prerequsite:
- Install python3.5, preferably use a virtualenv.
- Install docker for linux

Running test on a file

To tester on a solution, run python __main__.py <language> <tester_file> <solution_file>.

For example, to run the above tester (in the tests folder) on the sample solution:

cd grader
python __main__.py python3 tests/sort_function/grade_function.py tests/sort_function/correct_solution.py
