Advanced Automated Testing and Grading System for Computer Systems for the VLSI Course

The paper introduces an advanced automated testing and grading system specifically tailored for Computer Systems for the VLSI course at the School of Electrical Engineering University of Belgrade. This system enhances the educational framework by providing a thorough and efficient means of assessing student designs in both simulation and synthesis tasks. The testing mechanism is adept at handling various complexities of VLSI design, such as combinational and sequential logic, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of student submissions. By automating the testing process, the system offers a uniform assessment standard while significantly reducing the time and effort traditionally required for manual grading. It also equips students with valuable insights into their design approach, fostering a deeper understanding of VLSI concepts and preparing them for real-world applications. The conclusion of the paper emphasizes the system’s effectiveness in bridging the gap between academic learning and practical industry demands, making it a significant contribution to education in this field.
