Abstract
Tools that allow detecting programming faults are useful for both docents, who may test submitted exercises, and students, who may use these tools in advance. In this article the authors develop one tool for detecting failures in applications. In many cases there are previous tools that may be readapted to be used in an educational scope. This article integrates of one of these tools, which avoids code with dead-locks and race-conditions, into the Internet. The tool integrated is JPF (Java Path Finder) and it is accessed from a Java EE web frontend which carries out the exercise assessment. The article deals with the definition of the module and its evaluation on a realistic scenario. The results show that many assignments may benefit from the output of the tool.
