In-Depth Information
Guiding students towards better design has been so far done using Java's reflec-
tion and by instructors. We are considering integrating static analysis tools such as
Checkstyle into TMC, which would make addressing code conventions (e.g. inden-
tation, variable naming, method length and complexity) easier. In addition, we are
currently developing a deterministic profiler similar to [13] which makes it possible
to conduct repeatable benchmarks of students' algorithms.
