A support tool designed as didactic material for teaching and learning programming

Usually, programing courses evaluations use a comparative method to test their students. That is, the student must analyze the content of some piece of code in order to understand its logic. However, most courses do not use special support mechanisms for this task. This paper presents a software tool designed to support teaching and learning tasks related with programming courses. The main objective is to increase the motivation of the students using tools developed by their classmates. In future, the final software tool will be included as part of the course materials. Then, other students will have the opportunity to use the software to test their programming knowledge.
