Web-CAT provides flexible, extensible programming language support for any programming language that can be installed on the server. The actions used to compile, execute, and evaluate student code can be tailored by the instructor, who can upload one or more “grading plug-ins” to be used.

Web-CAT provides flexible, extensible programming language support for any programming language that can be installed on the server. The actions used to compile, execute, and evaluate student code can be tailored by the instructor, who can upload one or more “grading plug-ins” to be used. As a result, to use a new language, all the instructor needs to do is ensure the language is installed on the server, and then provide the necessary grading and feedback plug-in(sor use existing ones where possible. Plug-ins have already been written for Java (1.4 and 1.5), Scheme (both MIT Scheme and DrScheme), Prolog (SWI), Pascal (FreePascal), Standard ML (SML/NJ), and c++ (g++ 3.4.x), and new plug-ins can be adapted from existing ones.
