Abstract—This paper intends to make one of the most complex, time-consuming tasks lab instructor face as simple as a few keystrokes. We propose a software to automate the assignment checking system which can be performed online in safe, secure and confidential manner. Lot of works has been tried in this field but we uniquely identified six categories of all programming assignments. Any programming language which will run as executable can be tested using this system. Almost all undergraduate and postgraduate courses belongs to science, technology or vocational education contains one or more full paper on computer programming during their 1st/2nd semester. Usually, such a course has a massive number of registered students belonging to various disciplines. Manual assessment of the lab assignments for such a course is a colossal task which requires huge resources especially large number of instructors, substantial no. of human effort and time. It is also very much difficult for the instructor to detect plagiarism and avoid submission of unwanted/unsolicited program. The software reported in this paper carries out this task automatically on behalf of the lab instructor. Performance of the software is verified with the help of a large number of programming assignments individually and in integration with LMS. Experimental results shows 100% accurate performance by the software.

Index Terms—Assignment category, computer assisted,integrated, plagiarism detection, security, web based.
