A Tutoring System to Learn Code Refactoring
Hieke Keuning, Bastiaan Heeren, Johan Jeuring
Abstract
In the last few decades, numerous tutoring systems and assessment tools have been developed to support students with learning programming, giving hints on correcting errors, showing which test cases do not succeed, and grading their overall solutions. The focus has been less on helping students write code with good style and quality. There are several professional tools that can help, but they are not targeted at novice programmers.
