badass helps to produce automated assessments of programming projects. It is likely to produce bad assessments of good projects, but good assessments of bad projects. Indeed, it can test:
- if the project compiles
- the return values of functions on defined test cases
- static properties on the code
- traces of the execution
But it cannot test:
- code readability and clarity
- algorithm relevance and quality
- all such aspects one would like to test on good projects
So, bad projects are likely to fail on the first group of tests, while good project will pass and thus remain to be assessed manually.
The main goal of badass is thus to quickly produce superficial assessments for a large number of students, allowing to focus on the best projects for a manual analysis.
badass will execute all foreign code inside a sandbox provided by firejail so you won't harm your system executing malicious or badly programmed projects.
This is a very early version that is (mostly) limited to C projects. In the future versions, we may have:
- online submission of projects and report to the students on a given set of tests
- a library of standard tests on source code and
stracelogs - support for other languages
To start with, just pip install not-so-badass. Then, try to run badass -h, if you get the help message then, everything should be OK.
Send me a bug report, perhaps we can interact and have this problem solved. I don't own a Mac so I can't test.
Indeed. It will never. (Try with the Windows Subsystem for Linux.)
