Swarm inspired test case generation for online C++ programming assessment

It is time consuming for lecturers to manually compile, run and verify students' programming assignments. Moreover, they also need to define test cases for different programming exercises in order to assess students' code. This paper presents a swarm inspired automatic test case generation...
