ü Login

ü Test

ü   Result

LOGIN:-

There is a quality login window because this is more secure than other login forms as in a normal login window there are multiple logins available so that more than one person can access to test with their individual login.  But in this project there is only one login id i.e. administrator id and password by which a person enter the site. Hence it is more secure and reliable than previously used on-line test simulators.

TEST:-

Test page is the most creative and important page in this project. It consists of 2 modules namely:

Subject selection Utilities

Subject selection:-

From the given choices the candidate can select his field (like C, C++ and JAVA etc.) for taking on with the test.

This is a project we made in ASP.NET. Its an examination system made in Visual Studio 2008 using a MySQL database. Please do take a look at it and suggest improvements. Also, if the project is vulnerable to any security threats, please do ping us back.

I hope you will like our attempt at coding this application.

Features-

User first needs to supply valid credentials to begin the test.

Randomly chooses 5 questions from a database of 10 questions.

The test is a timed test, admin can change the duration of the test before it begins in the code.

Test-taker can leave a question un-answered and come back to the question (if time permits) using the ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ Buttons.

Code Details-

1. Login is authenticated against a MySQL database.

2. AJAX is used for the timer, allowing only the timer label to postback to the server each second.

3. Use of the Random class to generate 5 questions out of the 10 in the database.

4. Session Management using Cookies and Session Variables.

5. Use of javascript in the master-page to prevent the ‘Back’ navigation from a page (clearing the cache)  [Would love your suggestions on an alternative to this]

6. Once the 5 questions are chosen randomly, they are held in a DataTable. This is then held in a  Session Variable to hold the values during postbacks.
