1. ​I​NTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This software design document describes the architecture and system

design of Online Examination System. It will explain the details of design

phase of this system.The system provides the users to attempt the exam
online which improves the traditional approach of conducting exam.

1.2 Scope
This system is mainly designed for Educational Institute like

exam and generates reports as soon as the test finishes.The type of
questions expected from faculty members are Multiple Choice Questions.
System provides the privilege to each faculties to have complete control over
the exam.

1.3 Overview
This document describes the system,design and implementation details

of OES.It provides the different aspects of the product design,features,system

architecture,its design and decomposition,data description and dictionary and
also the component design along with the human interface design and screen
objects and actions.Developers need to go through all the topics specified.

2.​ ​S​YSTEM ​O​VERVIEW

 Online Examination System provides the facility to connect candidate
and examiner in remote areas and conduct exam in virtual environment
online.It provides the platform for both students and faculties to log into
the system.Registered students can attend the exam on scheduled
time,can view the results after the end of the system.The system
provides faculty the facilities for preparing the test and deciding the time
and marks for the exam.There is a provision for printing the report card
and review the test.

3. ​S​YSTEM ​A​RCHITECTURE
3.1 Architectural Design

1) Student Module
Every student needs to login to their accounts and use
functionalities of OES. Login criteria for every user is same, with a username
and password.Students can then attend examination as per the schedule,
view their previous results and provide feedback.

2)Faculty Module
Every faculty needs to login to their accounts and use
functionalities of OES.Login Criteria for every faculty is same,with a
username and password.Faculties can create a new examination on their
subject and can control the whole exam procedures.

3)Admin Module
Admin have the complete control over the system.He/She adds
up the students and faculties including their details.He has the privilege to
delete a student or faculty account.

3.2 Decomposition Description

3.3 Design Rationale
Another way of architectural design is to decompose the overall system to
student and faculty module.But the main disadvantage of this is that the
faculty will have complex responsibilities of maintaining the student database
and examination procedures.The better way to avoid these complexities is to
decompose the architectural design of the system to three modules:Student
Module,Administrator Module,Faculty Module.
