AutoTest V2 offers faster startup, better editor integration, and an intuitive interface for a smoother coding experience. Enjoy easier debugging, more RAM, and greater flexibility. Transitioning is simple with our support and new API options.
At CodeGrade, we’ve always believed in making grading as seamless and efficient as possible. That's why we're excited to talk about AutoTest V2 (ATV2), the next step in automatic grading that's already making a difference for so many of our users. Whether you're using ATV1 or considering adding AutoTest to your workflow, now is a great time to explore what V2 can do.
What is AutoTest?
AutoTest is our automatic grader that helps students receive instant, actionable feedback on their code. It allows instructors to create custom tests through an intuitive interface and blend these with their own scripts for a truly tailored grading experience.
Now, let’s talk about why AutoTest V2 (ATV2) should be on your radar.
Instant Start Up
If you’ve been using AutoTest V1, you’re probably familiar with the wait—usually around 30 seconds—for it to start up. With ATV2, we've cut that down to under 2 seconds. This is more than just a speed boost; it's about improving the entire feedback loop for your students. Less waiting time means they can run tests and see their results instantly, keeping them engaged and encouraging a faster learning process.
Test While You Code
Students can run ATV2 directly in the editor before submitting their code. This is a game-changer for both you and your students. No more submitting work blind, hoping it passes all the tests. Now, they can test as they go, and you’ll likely see better-quality submissions as a result.
Flexibility and Customization with an Innovative UI
AutoTest V2 introduces a block-based authoring interface that offers far more flexibility. Crafting custom tests is easier, faster, and much more intuitive. Whether you’re dealing with simple projects or advanced assignments that require complex software installations, ATV2 has got you covered with 4GB of RAM per student—plenty of space to handle advanced setups.
Easier Debugging, Faster Problem Solving
We know how crucial it is for instructors to have a smooth debugging process for setting up their tests. With ATV2’s instant start-up time and test submission integration in the authoring interface, troubleshooting is quicker and less frustrating.
Edit Fixtures in the UI
In ATv2, you don’t have to re-upload fixtures all the time. You can simply click on them and edit them in a pop-up editor.
