Explore a 34-minute video presentation from the SPLASH-E 2023 conference introducing Witter, a software testing library designed for programming educators. Learn how this innovative tool enables white-box testing of Java source code, allowing for in-depth analysis of method execution against reference solutions. Discover how Witter can help computer science students better understand algorithmic behavior and identify the root causes of incorrect test results. Gain insights into the potential benefits of incorporating white-box testing techniques in programming education, focusing on both result accuracy and algorithm implementation. Examine the research conducted by Afonso B. Caniço and André L. Santos from ISCTE-IUL, Portugal, and understand how their work contributes to improving assessment and feedback in introductory programming courses.
