Abstract
Microservice architectures and the DevOps development practices have become essential as companies strive to provide reliable and robust software systems supporting millions of users at the same time as new features are released and defects corrected and deployed in hours rather in months or years. It is therefore relevant to teach the microservice architectural style as well as the DevOps practices to our students. A central tenet of DevOps is fast feedback which pose a problem when it comes to providing formative feedback on exercises handed in by students. In this paper, we present the architectural design challenges in assessing student solutions embodying microservice systems as well as our analysis and solutions to them. We present our implementation, Crunch, and present student and instructor evaluation of having this support in a concrete course.
