ABSTRACT

This document is meant for describing all the features and procedures that were followed while developing the

system. This document specially mentions the details of the project how it was developed, the primary requirement,

as well as various features and functionalities of the project and the procedures followed in achieving theseobjectives. Online Examination System forms the lifeline of the Educational Institutes to the functioning of the

Examination. It is very essential for an Institute to handle the Examinations and their results. It is very useful for an

Institute to test its students continuously for their mutual development. This system is helpful for conducting (M.C)

Multiple Choice Examinations which can be conducted regularly as well as for surprise tests and providesimmediate results saving the precious time of faculties to check the papers and prepare mark sheets. While virtual

classroom have become reality with the advance of networking and other technologies the traditional assessmentmethods still dominate when it comes to exams. We can take the advantage of internet technologies to conduct

exams so students can enjoy any time anywhere flexibility as well as maximize their learning. Online Examination is

a complete web application developed in C# (ASP.Net& Ado.Net) where examination can be done online. Its a

simple but powerful project having many advanced features. Using this Online Exam system, we can conduct any

type of objective type examinations on line. The questions are stored in the server database. When the user is ready

to take the exam, then the user id and exam id is passed to the database. Using this same Question contents are

retrieved from the server and displayed on the page whenever the user requests for a question. On end of the exam,the result will be displayed. The duration and no of questions per exam are set during exam configuration time.

1. Introduction

1.1. Project Overview

This project assesses students by conducting online objective tests. The tests would be highlycustomizable. This project will enable educational institutes to conduct test and have automated

checking of answers based on the response by the candidates. The project allows faculties to

create their own tests. It would enable educational institutes to perform tests, quiz and createfeedback forms. It asks faculty to create his/her set of questions. Faculty then creates groups and

adds related students into the groups. Further the tests are associated with specific groups so thatonly associated students can appear for the test. The result of the response would be available tothe faculty of the question set. Further the result would also be mailed to the student. This project

would be helpful for creating practice tests, say for educational institutes and as a feedback form.

1.2. Purpose

1. Responses by the candidates will be checked automatically and instantly.2. Online examination will reduce the hectic job of assessing the answers given by the

candidates

3. Being an integrated Online Examination System it will reduce paper work.

4. Can generate various reports almost instantly when and where required.

1.3. Scope

This project would be very useful for educational institutes where regularevaluation of students is required. Further it can also be useful for anyonewho requires feedback based on objective type responses.

HTTPS outgoing request if secure gateway is implemented

2.1.1.4.Assumption and Dependency

xiv


15/39

1. Username are valid email addresses of respective user

2. Administrator has the authority to add/delete faculty level accounts.

2.2.Non-Functional Requirements

System should be able handle multiple users

Database updating should follow transaction processing to avoid data inconsistency.

2.3 Software System Attributes2.3.1.Security

Administrator has the highest authority to edit/delete/create database

Students can only view their test records.

Faculty can view all the test records of every student.

Critical information like passwords should be transferred in encrypted form

Passwords should be stored in encrypted form

Password will not be mailed to the user in case user forgets password, instead either

temporary password or a password reset link will be sent.

2.3.2.Reliability

Data validation and verification needs to be done at every stage of activity.

Validating user input

Use of locking mechanism while updating database like transaction processing

Recovering the transaction using rollback.

2.3.3.Availability

The examination system being an online system should be available anytime.

Constraints:

Though the system should be available 24x7 some features may be restricted.

Quiz creator may allow the specific test to be available only at certain time like scheduled

examination.

The test may be time limited so the candidates appearing will have limited time to answer

the test.

2.3.4. Portability

xv


16/39

The web application will be built using ASP which has support to run on any platformprovided the required compilers are available.

For database either Oracle or MySQL would be used, that too has extensive support over

many popular architectures and operating systems.

Constraints: Portability would be limited to the support provided by the respective application vendor

on various architectures and operating environments.

2.3.5. Performance

The system would be used by multiple users at a time and may grow as time passes; the system

would need to implement multithreading to achieve acceptable performance. Further a database

connection pool may also be required for assigning faster database connection. System should be

efficient enough to meet all kinds of requirements as required by the Administrator, Faculty andStudent. The system should not hang or lose its efficiency in any kind of worse conditions. It

should provide the correct output in all manners.

2.3.6. User Friendliness

System should be user friendly, so that any user can access the system.

2.3.7. Implementation Requirements

Entire coding will be done using Microsoft Visual .Net 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Soft copy for the documentation is provided in Microsoft Word Format. Entire coding would not

be shown to the client for any reasons. Implementation does not require any more softwaresupport without as mentioned below in the system requirements.

38/39

The conventional examination system where the students have to travel examination centers or

take proctored exams. Online examination system takes the advantage of internet technologies to

conduct exams and results are published without any delay. Almost every project is subjected tochange depending on the clients requirements. The system and the architecture of the proposed

system is a compatible one, so addition of new modules can be done without much difficulty.

Since this module has its unique properties it can extend further to make this system a completeone. The application was implemented and tested with real data and were found to be error free.

Also, the system is protected from any unauthorized access .All the necessary validations are

carried out on this project, so that any kind of users can make use of this application andnecessary messages makes them conscious of the error they have made.
