Why You Should Switch to AutoTest V2

At CodeGrade, we’ve always believed in making grading as seamless and efficient as possible. That's why we're excited to talk about AutoTest V2 (ATV2), the next step in automatic grading that's already making a difference for so many of our users. Whether you're using ATV1 or considering adding AutoTest to your workflow, now is a great time to explore what V2 can do.

What is AutoTest?

AutoTest is our automatic grader that helps students receive instant, actionable feedback on their code. It allows instructors to create custom tests through an intuitive interface and blend these with their own scripts for a truly tailored grading experience.

Now, let’s talk about why AutoTest V2 (ATV2) should be on your radar.

Instant Start Up

If you’ve been using AutoTest V1, you’re probably familiar with the wait—usually around 30 seconds—for it to start up. With ATV2, we've cut that down to under 2 seconds. This is more than just a speed boost; it's about improving the entire feedback loop for your students. Less waiting time means they can run tests and see their results instantly, keeping them engaged and encouraging a faster learning process.

Test While You Code 

Students can run ATV2 directly in the editor before submitting their code. This is a game-changer for both you and your students. No more submitting work blind, hoping it passes all the tests. Now, they can test as they go, and you’ll likely see better-quality submissions as a result.
