Abstract

The traditional ACM programming contest [2,6] is often described as measuring the ability of students to solve problems and to translate those solutions to code. The judging mechanism imposes an additional burden: contestants must devise a sophisticated test suite to ensure that their submissions are successful. Students often have more trouble with this aspect of the contest than any other. This paper introduces the Corona Project, an Eclipse-based set of tools to facilitate testing of programming contest submissions.
