Webinar: Everything new for the new 2021/2022 academic year

Copying your previous work

If you are doing a new iteration of a previous course, or if you would like to import parts of a previous assignment, you can use the various importing options we have in CodeGrade:

• Importing all assignments from a previous course (only available for CodeGrade stand alone or D2L Brightspace).
• Importing all configuration of a previous assignment.
• Importing a previous AutoTest configuration.
• Importing a previous rubric.
• Importing previous Hand in Requirements.

Anonymous Marking in CodeGrade

We have also recently added anonymous marking (or anonymous grading) to CodeGrade. You can turn this on under the assignment management page. All student names will then be hidden from you while grading. Learn more in our Help Center.

Improved GitHub and GitLab integration in CodeGrade

We have greatly upgraded our GitHub and GitLab support inside CodeGrade. It is now way easier and less error-prone for students to connect CodeGrade to their Git repository and hand in automatically from there. In the webinar, we explain exactly how it works and what the new student workflow looks like.

All new commits in the connected repo will be automatically uploaded to CodeGrade, just like you are used to. Git now has been connected to the user's CodeGrade account and can be re-used for all other assignments, without having to configure or connect again. If the user wants to disconnect GitHub or GitLab from CodeGrade, they can simply revoke access to CodeGrade from the GitHub or GitLab website.

Improved Unit Test step in CodeGrade AutoTest

With our latest release, we have also greatly improved our Unit Test step in AutoTest. It is now very easy to use with our new dropdown to select your unit test framework. All you have to do now is select the framework you want and point to the location of the tests, and it is ready to use! You now do not need to manually install unit test frameworks anymore in CodeGrade.
