Abstract

The paper deals with the main aspects of designing a system of automated testing to test the practical and independent work of students in the discipline “PHP Web-programming” based on the educational center of Computer Engineering and Design, ITMO University. 
The primary idea is to use unit testing to evaluate practical and independent student works. The paper describes the architecture of interaction between LMS Moodle, IServer testing system and docker system. The use of docker system allows to achieve safe execution of the students’ code without risk of hacking the testing system and disrupting the learning process.
