INTRODUCTION
Online examination system is an application project, which demonstrates the whole structure of our examination system. The whole project has two tools, one is front-end, another is backend tool. Oracle9i comes under backend and AWT, Event comes under frontend tool. The whole project has two parts, one is database part and another is coding part. Database is done in oracle and coding is done in AWT, Event. The entire project is prepared for the student and is governed by the administrator.

Abstract of Project

This project aims at creating a online examination pattern for an organization. This allows registered users of the system to give online exam for a specific amount of time. The home page contains a login page for a user. Then the page contains the different types of exam topic. Then the last page contains the result of the exam.

Steps to start off the project

You have to comfortable with AWT, Event packages . Make your self comfortable with fundamental Programming and Oracle 9i database, JDBC connectivity .
Create a test environment for testing.

Functional components of Project

There will be an login page available for each registered user. User must have to be registered before login. An user must have an user name and pass word. The next page after successful login will be the topic page. There are number of topics available on which one user can give exam. The next page after choosing the topic will be the exam page.

TESTING : ( Unit test plan and Integrated test-plan) :

Testing is the process of executing the program with the intention of finding out errors. During testing the programs to be tested is executed with a set of test cases and the output of the programs for the test case is evaluated to determine if the program is performing as expected to be . Testing is a vital to the success of system. During testing a test suits has been prepared which consists of various test case along with there expected output so that later on if the software is modified the test case from the test suits can be used to see that modifications does not have any undesirable effect .

In software system the use of testing is to limited to the testing phase. The result of testing is used later on during maintenance also. During testing test suits has been prepared which consists of various test case along with expected output so that later on if the software is modified the test case from the test suits can be used to see that modification does not have any undesirable effect.

You should map the test cases with the requirements document so that all the requirements are tested using the test case.

SCOPE & LIMITATION :

This project has several scope for the user but at the same time it has several limitation also.

SCOPE:
Program shows an error message when the entering invalid. Program gives messages about the invalid data entry. The programs is designed by keeping in mind that a layman can easily understand and access it.

Limitation :
The program should be prevented from virus other wise the files will be corrupted. Knowledge of PL-SQL is badly essential. Thorough training for new users system is badly required. Occasional power failure may disturb the system.

CONCLUSION
Hereby we conclude that this project about Online Examination System is really helpful for conducting exams in a well structured and consistent way that will help in organizing exams with ease and in a flawless way.
