Abstract

Code comprehension is a critical skill that novice programmers must master. We develop a semi-Automatic tool to help instructors rapidly create code comprehension Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs). We conducted a preliminary survey with 10 MCQs and 10 respondents, and the results suggest that our tool can generate plausible distractors for these MCQs. © 2019 IEEE.
