Test My Code ("TMC") is a tool to automate most of the exercise checking when teaching programming. It runs code submitted by students, gives feedback if tests fail and maintains a scoreboard. This allows for lots of small exercises without the need for course instructors to manually go through all of them.
The system has been used with great success by the University of Helsinki CS Dept. in several elementary programming and data structures courses with hundreds of users.
For setup and startup instructions, please see the installation guide.
