Abstract

This paper describes a series of experiments designed to be carried out by students in an introductory file processing class. The experiments were class assignments that involved student teams implementing various file accessing techniques. For each implementation, teams had to run a set of benchmark tasks and obtain software metrics. In addition each team was required to write a report analyzing the results of their experimentation. Our four objectives were to provide students with experiences in: file processing, team programming dynamics, generating software metrics, and the experimental evaluation of different solutions to a set of problems.
