Abstract
This thesis contains a description of a Python module for automatically assessing programming assignments in introductionary programming courses. Most notably, the module allows to test both input-output based tasks and functions at the same time.
In the first part, existing automatic assessment systems are analyzed. Then a guide is given on how to use the module for testing different task types, how to extend it and how to use it within other grading systems. Lastly the thesis deals with implementation decisions, on how to secure testing and usage experiences from two different courses.
