Abstract
As coding education is ubiquitous in elementary or higher school curriculum, puzzle-based coding platforms such as Scratch or Entry have been popularly deployed and employed by many Korean coding educational institutions. In this article, we propose a quantitative students' coding assessment methodology and discuss several issues of the method. Besides, we show its usefulness through case studies shown in our proprietary coding platform called "CodingPuzzle" system. Additionally, we describe detailed design and implementation issues of our coding assessment system that has already been ported to the CodingPuzzle system and is currently under operation.
