Objectives

Web based application which will help in conducting the Online Examination.Reduces the time required to give the exam and know the results.This project will provide an efficient platform both for the students and the teachers.Better security and transparency in the examination.This system will work efficiently and correctly as far as computer technology is concerned.

www.freestudentprojects.comProject ScopeOnline Examination system is designed for Educational Institutes (like schools, colleges, universities, training institutes).It saves time to prepare an exam and also it saves the time check the paper and prepare mark sheetsThe system handles all the operations, and it generates certificate as soon as the test is finish, that includes name, mark, time spent to solve the exam. Allow students to see or display his answers after the exam is finish.

www.freestudentprojects.com Detailed Design4.1 INTRODUTION:

In the detailed design we will decide the internal logic for the module, which implements the given specification. Detailed design is one of the levels of the design process for software items. Detailed design, which is also known as logic design, involves the internal design of the modules and how the specification of the module can be satisfied. Detailed design is an extension of system design. The basic goal in detailed design is to specify the logic for the different modules that have been specified during system design. Specifying the logic will require developing an algorithm that will implement the given specifications.

www.freestudentprojects.com Database Design: A database is inherent collection of data with some inherent meaning, designed, built and populated with data for a specific purpose. The following guideline has been followed by the database design:Descriptive names for the tables, columns and indexes.Singular names for tables and columns.Proper data type for each column.

www.freestudentprojects.comTESTING Introduction: A project is incomplete without successful testing and implementation. A program or system design is perfect only when the communication between the user and the designer is complete and clear. A successful system design helps in efficient testing and implementation. Testing is vital to the success of the system.

www.freestudentprojects.com Objective of Testing:

Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error.A good test case is the one that has high probability of finding an as-yet undiscovered error.A successful case is one uncovers as yet undiscovered error.System testing is a stage of implementation, which is aimed at ensuring that the system works accurately and efficiently as per the user needs, before the live operation commences. As stated before the live operation commences. As stated before testing is vital to the success of the system. System testing makes a logic assumption that if all the parts of the system are correct, the goal will be successfully achieved. The candidate system is subjected to a variety of tests. A series of tests are performed before the system is ready for the user acceptance tests.

www.freestudentprojects.comTesting Techniques:

Different types of testing are:Unit Testing

Integrated TestingBlack Box Testing Validation TestingUser Acceptance Testing

www.freestudentprojects.com1 Unit Testing:In this testing each sub module is tested individually with test data and then integrated to the overall system. Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of the software design in the module or component. In fund flow analysis all modules of the system are tested separately. The testing was carried out during the coding stage itself. Each module was tested and it was being developed. All the modules were correct for error and finally worked satisfactorily.Integrated Testing:This is a systematic technique for constructing the program structure while at the same time conducting tests to uncover errors with interfacing. Data can be lost across an interface; one module can have effect on other module; sub functionality may not be achieved. The testing was done with simple data. The developed data was run successfully with the test data. The need to integrate testing is to find overall system performance. All modules are combined and tested as a whole. Here errors uncovered are corrected for next testing steps.

www.freestudentprojects.com Black Box Testing:It focuses on the functional requirements of the software. Black Box testing attempts to find errors in the following categories:Incorrect or missing functionsInterface errorErrors in external device accessPerformance errorInitialization and termination errorsThe above testing was successfully carried out for the developed system.

www.freestudentprojects.comValidation Testing:At the accumulation of integrated testing, software is completely assembled as a package, interfacing errors have been uncovered and corrected, and final series of software tests namely validation tests are performed. Validation succeeds when the software functions in a manner that can be easily accepted by the customer. After validation tests have been conducted, one of the possible conditions is satisfied:The functions or performance characteristics confirmed to specialization are accepted.The deviation from specifications is uncovered and a note of what is lacking is made.The developed system has been tested satisfactorily and is also satisfactory. It is working efficiently.

www.freestudentprojects.com User Acceptance Testing:

User acceptance testing is key factor for the success of any system. The system under consideration was tested for user acceptance constantly, by keeping the users informed of the progress and incorporated changes suggested, at the development time itself.
