- Parsing problem statement and extracting test cases
- Generating solution scaffold
- Inlining library code and preparing a single source file for submission
- Running the tests on your solution
- Debugging the tests
Unlike other projects, caide is designed to support multiple programming languages and IDEs/editors.
