Requirements Gathering
 Interaction with company Guide.

 Existing System
 Proposed System
 Feasibility study.
 Formulation of the Problem Statement.
 Project Description

What is Computer Based Testing?
 Computer based testing (CBT) is an umbrella term

used to describe several types of examinations
administered by computer.
 Tests range from
 Multiple Choice
 True/False
 Multiple Completion
 Item Order
 Virtual Reality Simulations
 We would be using the first two types in combination
for our project

Existing System
Mikado solutions the company for which

we are developing the product trains
students in VB,ASP,VB.Net etc .
To evaluate students they used the
conventional pen and paper approach
 Disadvantages of existing method
 Specific test questions.
 Tangible and structured.
 Time period for testing is not flexible.
 More errors and delays due to human intervention.

Proposed System
Computerize the system

Computerization would include
automated assessment ,report
generation , mark sheet ,instant results .
 Computerization would lead to in depth testing of
students.
 Multiple students would be able to give different tests
at the same time.
 This would lead to efficient use of resources.

Proposed system advantages
 Advantages of the proposed system

 Comfortable for students.
 Can be administered anytime.
 Tests are more varied.
 More use of visual images, animations.
 Results are displayed instantly.
 Management has access to various student and
instructor reports to help in decision making process.

Scope
 The system has two subsystems

 Internet subsystem
 Back Office operations subsystem
 Internet subsystem
 It has three parts one for Student, one for Instructor
and one for the Administrator.
 Student
 Authentication of valid student
 Student can give test allocated to him online before
expiry date set by instructor.
 Student can view results instantly.

Scope
 Instructor
 Authentication of valid instructor.
 Instructor has permission to set/update tests.
 Set passing percentage.
 Enable negative marking.
 Edit logins for students only.
 Make/Edit Question Banks.
 Administrator
 Authentication of valid Administrator.
 Administrator has permission to add accounts.
 To assign new Instructors.
 View Student’s Test Results Reports.
 View Instructor Reports.
 Edit logins for Instructors.

Scope
 Back Office Operations Subsystem

 Report generation
 Decision making for higher management on these
reports.

Methodology
 The internet application would be implemented

using ASP.NET and C#
 The Database would be implemented using
SQL Server.
 The reports used in Back office operations
would be formatted in HTML.

Working
 Sample Instructor
 User ID: Instructor Password: 123456.
 Sample Student
 User ID: Student Password: 654321.
 Sample Administrator
 User ID: Admin Password: 123456.
 First form loaded is Login form
 Based on authentication there are 3 modes
 Student mode
 Tests assigned to him pop up in a combo box.
 Test has to be selected and then started.

Working
 Test paper form gives all information of test to

student.
 Test questions appear in text box.
 Questions in MCQ format(4 choices) or True/False
 To go to next question student must click next
question button.
 If test is timed and student fails to answer next
question is loaded.
 Abort Test will abort the test marking all the answers
as NO ATTEMPT.
 After finishing test result is generated.

Working
 Instructor mode
 After login the Instructor home form opens
 It allows following things
 Add question
 Editing question bank.
 Create/Edit tests.
 Nominate students
 View test report
 View Student report.

Working
 On clicking Add questions the instructor can

 Create new questions
 Add questions from question bank
 Instructor can also Create tests from create test button

which allows to
 Select question bank for questions
 Set time options (limited/unlimited)
 Set passing percentage.
 Set first class ,distinction ,total marks for test.
 Enable/disable negative marking.
 The Instructor can also modify his/her password.

Working
 Administrator mode
 After authentication the Administrator home opens up.
 It allows following things
 Add user accounts for student and instructor.
 Modify User ID and Password for himself.
 View detailed Student performance reports.
 View Instructor Reports.

Working
 Reports
 Reports are summarized information in a well-
formatted manner meant for higher managerial levels
to help them in Decision-making.
 There are 4 types of reports.

Implementation
 CAT Algorithm
Ø All the items that have not yet been administered
are evaluated to determine which will be the best
one to administer next given the currently estimated
ability level
Ø The "best" next item is administered and the
examinee responds
Ø A new ability estimate is computed based on the
responses to all of the administered items.
Ø Steps 1 through 3 are repeated until a stopping
criterion is met.
CAT Ability Estimate

Testing
 Unit Testing
 Authentication
 CAT algorithm
 View reports
 Create tests
 Give Tests
 Test options
 Integration Testing
 System Testing
Future Scope
To prepare various patterns for different test software

language courses.
Also to develop a Billing System module for enabling the

online payment for the Test courses for different Certification
modules .
Making the system Web-enabled and thereby integrating

Online Certification courses for different Software languages.
Also to Implement a Mock Test feature to acquaint the

students with test patterns.
Conclusion
 The Online Test Software System

developed has the following features :
 The test system developed is Computer Adaptive in
nature i.e the difficulty level of questions go on
changing as per the students goes on giving correct
answers.
 Also the questions from the question bank come in

random order during the test.

Conclusion
 The software has enhanced security feature in such a

way that, only the instructor assigned can
modify/append the questions in the question bank .
 Also the entire control lies in the hands of the

Administrator who is the only authenticated personnel
to add/remove instructors and students.
 The performance of students , instructors can be

monitored using reports.
