INTRODUCTION
Assessment provides the teacher with a feedback channel that shows how learning goals are being met. It also ensures for an outside observer that students achieve those learning goals. Assessment provides both means to guide student learning and feedback for both the learner and the teacher about the learning process – from the level of a whole course down to a single student on some specific topic being assessed. Students often direct their efforts based on what is assessed and how it effects the final course grade. Continuous assessment during a programming course ensures that students get enough practice as well as get feed- back on the quality of their solutions.

When the class size grows, the amount of assessed work has to be cut down or rationalized in some other way. Many Computer Aided Approaches (CAA) approaches have been proposed for assessing student assignments and giving feedback [6]. These approaches simplify the instructor's task for grading the student programming assignments by assessing different features of the program. * Check if the code is correct. * Check for plagiarism. * Check if the code fixes the problem it was meant to fix. * Check if the code is structured decently and grading.
