PROJECT GOAL

- Online Examination System is designed for Educational Institutes like Schools, Colleges, and Private Institutes to conduct logic tests of their students on a regular basis.

- The system handles all the operations and generates reports as soon as the test is completed which saves the precious time of faculties spent on reviewing answer sheets.

- The existing system is weak when it comes to surprise test organizations whereas this system can make it possible very easily.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Online Examination System is built on Asp.net, Crystal Reports and SQL Server 2005. The Web application is built to serve the following areas.- To make the examination process in the institutes fast,

reliable, and error free.- Hosting on the Intranet can provide a secured Examination

channel for any institute.- Registration of users can be used to generate revenue and

thus can be profited from the system.- Real time report generation gives quick results to given exams.- Entrance examinations can also be conducted.- The database is self explanatory as the code.

OBJECTIVE


- Create a Web application to be used in place of old paper based user examination process.

- Use ASP.NET and SQL Server technology to create strong and secured database connectivity.

- Incorporate the server software within the code.- Runtime package and deployment instructions are given.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION:

USER CHARACTERISTICS :

This system will be used in Three User Modules which are Administrator, Faculty and Student. As all of these have different requirements the modules are designed to meet their needs and avoid any type Of confusion. The Uses of all three User Modules have been described below.

[1] User can do the following functions in the Administrator Module

Add & Edit Course Add & Edit Year Add & Edit Subject Add & Edit Faculty Add Receipt for User Edit User View Results Generate Reports.

[2] User can do the following functions in the Faculty Module


Add & Edit Question Search the Question

[3] User can do the following functions in the Student Module Give Exam View Result

CONSTRAINTS :

Security and Reliability Requirements

Security

- The Information should be Secure; there should not beany kind of malfunctioning.

- All the results, details of Exams taken and Questions are stored securely in the system. System Information will not be changed by any person rather than the management.

Reliability

- System should be reliable. It should keep secure all theInformation regarding to particular Student, Faculty, Questions and Results.

- The Particular result must be listed in to the particular user only.


Flexibility

- System is working easily on the Intranet with theUsername and Password of the user.

- The Institute has given the rights to the staff and the students to use the system with their username.

Efficiency

- System should be efficient enough to meet all kinds ofrequirements as required by the Administrator, Faculty and Student.

- The system should not hang or lose its efficiency in any kind of worse conditions. It should provide the correct output in all manners.

User Friendly

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

Hardware And Software Requirement

oHardware- Pentium IV- 80 GB Hard Disk- 512 MB RAM

o Software- Operating System

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2


SYSTEM ANALYSIS :

Current System

The Current system of examinations is highly complicated and expensive. Whenever exams are to be conducted there are various tasks that have to be done again and again.

Setting question paper Checking for errors Printing question papers Scheduling exams Conducting exams Checking answer papers Preparing result charts Solving question papers

Weaknesses in Current System

- The current system is as mentioned earlier very complicated and expensive as compared to the new system.

- It also wastes the precious time of the faculties which can then be used in solving student queries and helping them improvise.

- Taking surprise tests of students is also not feasible in the current system as planning for the exam and checking answer papers takes a lot of time and thus cannot be completed on schedule.


- As Faculties are humans and so prone to errors, there can be mistakes in checking answer papers, calculating marks and the result charts prepared may also have these errors.

- After the exams have been conducted the faculty has to provide solutions to the questions asked in exam.

REQUIREMENTS OF NEW SYSTEM.

User Requirements

The User Requirements for the new system are to make the system fast, flexible, less prone to errors and reduce expenses and save time.

- Time can be saved in scheduling the exams if it were available to make question banks to store questions for different subjects in advance and can be used as per required.

- A system that can automate the checking of answers which are pre-stored so that results can be generated as soon as the student gives the exam.

- A facility that can generate result charts as per required without manual interference for providing how a task is to be done instead only asking what is to be done.

- The system should have Student and Faculty records on hand which can be used as per required only by authorized personnel.

- The New system should be more secure in managing user


records and reliable enough to be used in any condition.

- Finally, it should prove cost effective as compared to the current system.

FEATURES OF NEW SYSTEM

The new system has been designed as per the user requirements so as to fulfill almost all them.

Quick Scheduling

- Exams can be created very quickly as compared to the existing system as it allows the use of previously entered questions to be used again.

- It saves time required to get the question papers printed and distributed before the students are allowed to appear for the examination. Questions entered once can be accessed by students as soon as they login to their account.

Immediate Results and Solutions

- One of the most important draw backs of the current system is that the faculties are required to check the answer papers which is again a lengthy process and prone to errors.

- The new system will generate the result as soon as the test is finished by the user and will also store it in the database for further usage. The solution is also available as soon as the questions are inserted in the database.


Easy to Store and Retrieve Information

- The new system makes it easy to store and retrieve information as required and does not involve storing information in separate sheets or papers.

- It thus saves data management problems faced in the current system as it has a Database Management System of it own which allows reports to be generated when needed.

Cost Effective

- One of the main reasons of the new system is its costEffectiveness.

- It saves the amount spend on stationary as well as overall cost of conducting an examination which also involves paying supervisors, paper checkers, question paper printers etc.

Entity Relationship Diagram

An Entity-relationship model is an abstract conceptual representation of structured data. Entity relationship modeling is a relational schema database modeling method, used in Software Project Management to produce a type of conceptual data model (or semantic data model) of a system, often a relational database, and its requirements in top-down fashion.

CONCLUSION :

The development of software includes so many people like user system developer, user of system and the management, It is important to identify the system requirements by properly collecting required data to interact with supplier and customer of the system. Proper design builds upon this foundation to give a blue print, which is actually implemented by the developers.

On realizing the importance of systematic documentation all theProcesses are implemented using a software engineering approach. Working in a live environment enables one to appreciate the intricacies involved in the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

We have gained a lot of practical knowledge from this project, which we think, shall make us stand in a good state in the future.
