Abstract

The paper describes a learning and assessment environment for Turing Machine programming. The interpreter allows to explore different phases of running a particular test in different working modes: step by step, until a change on the tape, until termination, take a step back, etc. The program enables to display the results of testing with a set of tests together with error messages, numbers of steps, etc. We try to describe small details of the program that are important for learner and for instructor.
