Online Examination
1. Introduction
1.1.Project Overview
This project assesses students by conducting online objective tests. The tests would be
highly customizable. 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 create feedback 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 that only associated
students can appear for the test. The result of the response would be available to the
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
Responses by the candidates will be checked automatically and instantly.
Online examination will reduce the hectic job of assessing the answers given by
the candidates.
Being an integrated Online Examination System it will reduce paper work.
Can generate various reports almost instantly when and where required.
1.3.Scope
This project would be very useful for educational institutes where regular
evaluation of students is required. Further it can also be useful for anyone who
requires feedback based on objective type responses.
1.4.Definitions, Acronyms
The sub-section provides the definitions of all terms, acronyms, and
abbreviations used in this document to understand the SRS properly.

Online Examination
2.3.3. Security
Administrator has the highest authority to edit/delete/create database
Faculty have the authority to add/expel students
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.
2.3.4. 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.
2.3.5. 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.
2.3.6. Portability
The web application will be built using PHP which has support to run on any platform
provided the required compilers are available.
For database either XML or MySQL would be used, that too has extensive support
over many popular architectures and operating systems.
Page 8 of 48
Online Examination
Constraints:
Portability would be limited to the support provided by the respective application vendor on
various architectures and operating environments.
2.3.7. 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.
2.4.Database Requirements
Database fields for questions and respective options must be in Unicode format to
handle non English characters
2.5.Technologies
This section lists all the technologies for the web based system.
PHP scripting for server side scripting as it has a very strong support for XML and
MySQL.
XML as database format: The database performance requirements are not very high
and the ability to have custom fields in case the quiz creator needs to add more than
expected answer options. This is limited in any other database management system
where we have to first specify the maximum number of fields.
Apache as web server has a tight integration with PHP and is also available for
various popular platforms.
2.6.Software
Netbeans or Eclipse for PHP and XML coding.
Apache Tomcat as Web server
2.7.Hardware
The recommended hardware specified by the respective software would suffice the
needs. The memory and processing power needed would increase as the number of
users increase. The estimated hardware requirements are as specified.

2.7.1. Server
The minimum hardware as recommended by all of the software required on server
side say web server, operating system and development software
Processing speed of 1.6 GHz
1 GB of RAM
Network interface
2.7.2. Client

5. Scope for Enhancement

Present system carries certain drawbacks and limitations as listed below
1. Current system provides only multiple choices but single correct answer selection.
Faculty may wish to provide multiple choices multiple selection responses.
2. Incase questions and/or answers need to be in graphics, current system has no
provision.
3. Unregistered users cannot answer test, they must belong to some group. This is a
drawback incase the faculty wants anyone even anonymous users to answer the test.
4. Top score could be displayed on the home page; but this could be easily
implemented while programming the home page.
5. Security logs though not implemented in this system would be well available through
the respective database management system and web server software.
