Web Based Software Modeling Exercises in Large-Scale Software Engineering Courses

摘要

We present a web based eLearning system to support software modeling exercises in large-scale software engineering courses. Students get the task to create a domain model based one given textual specification of an application domain. They have to specify the domain model by a UML class diagram and import it into the eLearning system. The system verifies the student's solution and compares it with a set of predetermined sample solutions. This approach is a first step towards an automatic testing of object-oriented models under the conditions of university classes with a large number of students. We discuss it and report about initial experiences in using the eLearning system.
