  • Abstract
    In this paper, we focus on performance evaluation of finite automata simulators. We tested some existing simulators to find whether simulators are useful as a teaching tool in automata classes. Moreover, we try to point out which simulator is more useful. We also introduce some visual examples to motivate students.
