Uso de execução de código para detectar problemas de design em atividades de Programação OO.

Abstract

At the Federal University of Campina Grande, the Programming Laboratory 2 course is used for students to learn to program and understand code structuring. The practical evaluations are applied through laboratories, where the correction is made by tests and manual analysis of the code structure. In this process, feedback is essential for the formation of the student, however, the excess of laboratories makes quick feedback impossible. Automated tests and automatic analysis of code metrics are alternatives to quickly generate useful information for the student, but many of the existing tools are limited in their ability to evaluate a code structure. With the execution of the TraceAgent tool, an analysis will be carried out in order to identify problems related to the code design. In this context, we want to see if metrics extracted from code execution like X, Y, Z can be useful information for quick assessment of students.
