Abstract :
Verificator is an educational tool meant for learning syntax and semantics of the C++ programming language at the introductory programming courses. With an objective to explore quality of Verificator from students´ perspective, a pilot study was carried out. Data were collected by means of an online post-use questionnaire. The analysis of collected data uncovered pros and cons of Verificator perceived by novice programmers. Empirical findings are presented and discussed.
