Control Management

Source code management is one of the most vital tools in modern software development. Moreover, the open source initiative requires a method to distribute their code effectively. GitHub is one of the most popular web-based version control systems that offers version control and source code management. Therefore, it is important to introduce GitHub as early as possible to computer science students. Our objective is to observe the use of GitHub as a source code management system. We perform a survey targeted at the students and collected 298 answers. We also perform a short interview amongst the lecturer regarding their familiarity with GitHub and source control management in general. The survey result shows that while GitHub is quite popular amongst the student, the knowledge and experience of using it is considerably low. Similar responses were received from the lecturer that argues that the role of GitHub in classroom is redundant. The details of the result are thoroughly discussed in this paper

Version Control Software or Revision Control Software are the most important things in the world of software development. In this paper, we have described two version control tools: Git and Apache Subversion. Git comes as free and open source code management and version control system which is disseminated with the GNU general public license. Apache Subversion abbreviated as SVN is one amongst a software versioning and revision control systems given as open source under Apache License. Git design, its functionality, and usage of Git and SVN are discussed in this paper. The goal of this research paper is to accentuate on GIT and SVN tools, evaluate and compare five version control tools to ascertain their usage and efficacy.

Version Control Systems

Teamwork is the most important soft skill of the modern specialist, not to mention a teacher. It is also undisputed that skills development is very important to start at school, in particular at computer science lessons. Accordingly, a future teacher of computer science has to know version control systems and use one of them to organize collective student's work like in class and in the process of preparing for science competitions of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. This topic of the article is relevant because it doesn't fully describe in the scientific and methodological resources. The main goal of this article is to open the main features of teaching students to work with version control systems on the example of Git. The systematic approach was the methodological basis for the investigation discovery. But besides, the researcher analyzed, compared, and summarized the investigation and experience of the leading scientists. As the result of the article the author rise to the following conclusions that the knowledge of version control systems (in particular Git) is an important part of the preparation of computer science teachers; teaching students to work with such programs have to be combined with the study of programming; should be encouraged students to complete labs and case studies using Git; teachers have to demonstrate through examples the correct organization and culture of work with such programs. The writer is also considering using the GitHub Classroom service to organize the educational process subjects such as programming and page making of web pages.

We investigated how Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms could automatically grade answers to open-ended inference questions in web-based eBooks. This is a component of research on making reading more motivating to children and to increasing their comprehension. We obtained and graded a set of answers to open-ended questions embedded in a fiction novel written in English. Computer science students used a subset of the graded answers to develop algorithms designed to grade new answers to the questions. The algorithms utilized the story text, existing graded answers for a given question and publicly accessible databases in grading new responses. A computer science professor used another subset of the graded answers to evaluate the students’ NLP algorithms and to select the best algorithm. The results showed that the best algorithm correctly graded approximately 85% of the real-world answers as correct, partly correct, or wrong. The best NLP algorithm was trained with questions and graded answers from a series of new text narratives in another language, Slovenian. The resulting NLP algorithm model was successfully used in fourth-grade language arts classes for providing feedback to student answers on open-ended questions in eBooks.

Integrated Software

Due to the increasingly important role of software testing in software quality assurance, during the last several years, the utilization of automated testing tools, and particularly those belonging to the xUnit family, has proven to be invaluable. However, as the number of resources available continues increasing, the complexity derived from the selection and integration of the most relevant software testing principles, techniques and tools into an adequate learning environment for training computer science students in software testing, increases too. In this chapter we introduce a experience of teaching Software Testing for a senior-level course. In the elaboration of the course a wide variety of testing techniques, methodologies and tools have been selected and seamlessly integrated. An evaluation of students performance during the three academic years that the course has been held show that students’ attitudes changed with a high or at least a positive statistical significance.
