Today, we'll talk about how to test students' code using automated tools. For example, the unit testing built into Replit's <a href="https://replit.com/site/teams-for-education" rel="nofollow">Teams for Education</a> allows students to see if their code is correct, while teachers can quickly assess dozens of submissions. We'll also talk about potential pitfalls that can disrupt or distract from learning.
