In this work, we propose an automated method to identify semantic bugs in student programs, called ATAS, which builds upon the recent advances in both symbolic execution and active learning. Symbolic execution is a program analysis technique which can generate test cases through symbolic constraint solving. Our method makes use of a reference implementation of the task as its sole input. We compare our method with a symbolic execution-based baseline on 6 programming tasks retrieved from CodeForces comprising a total of 23 K student submissions. We show an average improvement of over 2.5x over the baseline in terms of runtime (thus making it more suitable for online evaluation), without a significant degradation in evaluation accuracy.
