Abstract When checking students’ source codes, teachers tend to overlook some errors. This work introduces Soploon, a tool that automatically detects novice programmer errors. By using this tool, teachers can reduce the number of overlooked errors. Thus, students receive a more complete and exhaustive feedback about their errors and misconceptions.
