Configuring BitterSuite

• interpret-mark-scheme: A boolean value, set to false by default. If changed to true, bash commands in the mark-scheme file, such as autotesting grades, will be evaluated.
• nroff-mark-scheme: A boolean value, set to false by default. If changed to true, nroff commands in the mark-scheme file, such as .ti, will be evaluated.
• print-by-question: A boolean value, set to false by default, which determines how the autotesting results are displayed in the output file of rst. If true, autotesting totals for each question will be displayed, and the tests will be labelled as "Question X, test Y". If false, autotesting totals for each question will not be displayed, and the tests will be labelled as "Test X_Y".
• print-submit-files: A boolean value, set to false by default. If changed to true, the student's code will be included in the output file of rst.
• test-account: A string specifying which account the tests will be run on (default: csXXXt)
• test-connect: A list of strings specifying the command used to connect to the test account. This command will be run as test-connect test-account
• verbosity: A number between 0 and 10 specifying the amount of output you would like BitterSuite to produce (default: 1). This refers specifically to output visible to the person running the tests, not to the students.

A sample config.ss is shown below:

(verbosity 4)
(print-submit-files false)
(print-by-question true)
(nroff-mark-scheme false)
(interpret-mark-scheme true)

Typical settings for a public test suite that has no marking key to print for TAs but has a bit of text to be pretty-formatted by nroff:

(verbosity 1)
(print-submit-files false)
(print-by-question true)
(nroff-mark-scheme true)
(interpret-mark-scheme false)

Typical settings for an automarking suite that is to be hand-marked:

(verbosity 1)
(print-submit-files true)
(print-by-question true)
(nroff-mark-scheme true)
(interpret-mark-scheme true)
