Towards Using Continuous Integration Tools to Teach Programming Courses

This work proposes a study focused on Continuous Integration (CI) tools in teaching programming courses as well as for automatically grading student assignments. There are many automatic grading tools for students' programming assignments which share most of their functionalities with CI tools. We would like to provide a methodology on how to implement this tool in teaching programming languages. We will evaluate and compare common CI tools and run experiments with students in programming courses.
