虽然计算机科学课程教授学生战略软件开发过程，但评估通常是面向产品而不是面向过程的。测试驱动开发（TDD）在计算机教育中越来越受欢迎，但评估学生对TDD的坚持需要分析他们的开发过程，而不仅仅是他们的最终产品。因此，我们设计了一个自适应反馈系统，以加强增量测试行为。在本文中，我们比较了系统的结果与不同的强化时间表和-或没有-视觉上突出的测试目标。我们分析了学生在开发过程中收集的编程项目的快照，并在学期结束时采访了学生。从我们的研究结果中，我们确定了影响学生发展行为的潜力，并提出了设计自适应强化的未来方向。
While Computer Science curricula teach students strategic software development processes, assessment is often product-instead of process-oriented. Test-Driven Development (TDD) has gained popularity in computing education, but evaluating students' adherence to TDD requires analyzing their development processes instead of only their final product. Consequently, we designed an adaptive feedback system for reinforcing incremental testing behaviors. In this paper, we compare the results of the system with different reinforcement schedules and with- or without- visually salient testing goals. We analyzed snapshots of students' programming projects gathered during development and interviewed students at the end of the academic term. From our findings, we identify potential for influencing student development behaviors and suggest future direction for designing adaptive reinforcement.
