Abstract
One of the most important phases in the Web development cycle is testing. There are several types of tests, different approaches to their use and a wide range of tools. However, most of them are not open source, require coding and do not have a pedagogical nature. This article introduces WebPuppet as an automated Web UI testing tool. The tool is distributed as a small Node package and can be easily integrated into any learning environment in the web development domain. In addition, it does not require coding in any language, just use a very simple domain-specific language that will generate a test script to run in client applications. In order to exemplify its use, a simple test scenario based on a login page is presented. © Queiros, Ricardo; licensed under Creative Commons License CC-BY 4.0

Abstract
There are lot of interactive environments that encourage the practice of computer programming. Despite their usefulness, these systems are naturally disconnected from the schools' educational environments, forcing teachers and students to alternate between tools. This work integrates Agni - a computer programming learning playground - with Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Unlike the plugins' strategy to link applications to specific LMS, this integration uses a broader approach, through the IMS LTI standard which defines a set of specifications that allows the connection of any LTI-compliant LMS to external tools. © 2022 Owner/Author.

Abstract
In the last decade, gamification has been a widely used mechanism to influence behavioral habits in users so that they are more positively involved in learning and business processes. There are many articles or applications that materialize this adoption by showing success stories. However, few are those who mention the dangers of its use. This article shares the main precautions to be taken when creating a gamified strategy, promoting the use of gamification design and evaluation frameworks, in order to create a balanced approach that meets the profiles of its users.

Abstract
Learning programming boils down to the practice of solving exercises. However, although there are good and diversified exercises, these are held in proprietary systems hindering their interoperability. This article presents a simple scraping tool, called ScraPE, which through a navigation, interaction and data extraction script, materialized in a domain-specific language, allows extracting the data necessary from Web pages – typically online judges – to compose programming exercises in a standard language. The tool is validated by extracting exercises from a specific online judge. This tool is part of a larger project where the main objective is to provide programming exercises through a simple GraphQL API. © Ricardo Queirós.
