1) Introduction:

This document will propose all features and procedures to develop the system.

This document specially containing details about objectives, scope limitation, process
model, primary requirements, team development, possible project risks, project
schedule, and finally monitoring and reporting mechanisms.

On-line Exam System is very useful for Educational Institute to prepare an exam,
safe the time that will take to check the paper and prepare mark sheets. It will help
the Institute to testing of students and develop their skills. But the disadvantages for
this system, it takes a lot of times when you prepare the exam at the first time for
usage. And we are needs number of computers with the same number of students.

The effective use of "On-line Exam System", any Educational Institute or training
centers can be use it to develop their strategy for putting the exams, and for getting
better results in less time.

1.1) Objectives and concentrations:

 Corporate between the data stored in the server of the Institution and
our On-line Exam system. To deal with On-line System in an easy way
and an efficient mannered. (connection process)
 Create strong and secrete data base that allow for any connection in a
secret way, to prevent any outside or inside attacks.
 Specify a privilege for each person to allow each person use this system
to create his own exam. And have a complete control on his exam.
 Allow each person to create more than one exam with different way to
create variant questions.

1.2) Scope and limitations:

 On-line Exam system is designed for Educational Institutes (like
schools, universities, training centers).
 The system handles all the operations, and generates reports as soon as
the test is finish, that includes name, mark, time spent to solve the
exam.
 Allow students to see or display his answers after the exam is finish.
 The type of questions is only multiple choice or true and false.
2.) Requirement Specification:
2.1) Existing System:

 Offline examination is time consuming.

 Waste of paper.
 Delay of result.

2.2) New System:

 Students can register for online examination.

3.) Functional Requirement:

3.1) Modules:

 User Registration/ Login: User taking the test must first create an account
in the system by registering themselves and then can login into the account to
take test.

 Admin Login: Admin would be having a login account. He can add

questions in the system and their respective answers.

 Answer checking: The system checks the answer by against stored answers.

 Answer marks allocation: The system calculates total and rightly

answered questions and displays score to user.

 Question answer addition: Admin can add or delete questions from the
system.

 User Result Storage: The results of each user are stored in the database
and displays to admin when needed.

This Application uses HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP as a front-end.

Section I.1 7.) Project management approach: My project follows the
waterfall model.

The steps of waterfall model are:

 Requirement Definition
 System and Software Design
 Implementation
 Integration and System Testing
 Operation and Maintenance
8.) The Proposed System:

online examination system save the exams information in a database , teachers can
add/delete questions, set the correct answers, specify the exam period, register
students ,delete students , show questions for students randomly, calculate and show
the final results for students.

A. System design:

Design is the abstraction of a solution; it is a general description of the solution to

a problem without the details. Design is view patterns seen in the analysis phase
to be a pattern in a design phase. After design phase we can reduce the time
required to create the implementation.

In this chapter we are introduce context diagram, models, system architecture,

principal system object, design model and object interface.

The online examination system uses client/ server architecture. At the client by
using a web browser can connect via internet or local host with the server where PHP
and MySQL in the server side are responsible for the preparing exams processes and
save and return data from database.

C. System activities:

C-1.) Login system:

Login system contains the following programs.

• Login as admin

By using already stored admin name and password the individual can log on to
the system any time he/she desires as an admin to manage the admin activities.
Logging is successful only if the input detail is matched with the database, else an
error message is displayed.
• Login as student

The information of each student will be sorted by the admin upon the registration
process, enabling this way the particular student to log on the system without having
to undergo the process of registration again. Logging is successful only if the input
detail is matched with the database, else an error message is displayed.

C-2) Admin activities - Admin activities contain the following programs:

• Questions management - Managing questions contain two main operations:

1. Adding Questions: include adding three type of questions according to the

admin desires either (true/false, multiple choices).

2. Deleting Questions: include deleting questions of the three types of questions

(true/false, multiple choices).

• Students management - Managing students contain two main operations:

1. Registering students: include inserting the information of each student

(student name, email, and password) to complete the registration process.

2. Deleting student: by inserting the (name and email) of the student to be deleted
the admin can delete any student.

C-3) Result management: show all students results.

C-4) Student’s activities: Student activities contain the following operations:

• Give the exam: After the student logging in, a group of questions will be
displayed to him to start and give an exam.

• Get the results: After answering all the questions in a specified period the
student will finish the exam and his/her degree will be displayed on the screen.
D. Database Design:

In order to fully use MySQL server technology, it is essential to make sure that the
database is well designed. The files names chosen to label all the tables created
within the database attempt to reflect the table's purpose and, therefore, contribute
to well-design system. The initial step in designing was to decide, according to the
requirements and specifications of the project, which tables should be created, and
what type of information each one should hold. The final design had taken from as
explained in figure.
E. System Implementation: The general specification of the online examination
system (OES) can be explained in figure

F. System interface: The system allow users to login in two ways either as an
admin or student, as shown in figure.

1- As admin: when the user choose to login as an admin the main page will lead
him to the admin login page, which will ask for user name and password. As shown
in figure.
 After checking for the correct user name and password the system will lead the
admin to the dashboard.

2- As student: When the user login as a student, he/she will be represented with
student login page as shown in figure.

After authentication the student will be represented with the quiz page (which
contains the questions set by the admin) as shown in figure.
 After answering the questions and clicking the finish exam button the result page
will be displayed as shown in figure.

9.) Advantages:

 Examiners get bored by checking many answer sheets, hence the system
reduces their workload by automating the manual checking process
accurately.
 The system calculates the score and provides results instantly.
 It removes human errors that commonly occur during manual checking.
 The system provides an unbiased result.
  Thus the system excludes human efforts and saves time and resources.

10.) Disadvantages:

 The system must be given proper inputs otherwise system can produce wrong
results.

11.) Applications:

 This system can be used in schools, colleges, coaching and institutes for
checking online tests.
 The system can also be implemented in different organizations that conduct
regular exams.

12.) Conclusion:

Using an open source language gives us more flexibility, but at the same time it
required more time to be programmed. The proposed Online Examination System
(OES) can be easily adopted by universities and institutions in order to make the
exam more secure and more flexible. The system is subdivided into two main
subsystems (student and administrator) that are designed to give the system
maximum benefit by demonstrating carefully each subsystem service. The
administrator's functions are clearly identified to be able to manipulate user's
information such as add (register), delete users and managing the exam materials
and content such as add, delete questions, Thus the proposed system is easy and
flexible because for future maintenance and development because each subsystem
can be handled separately without influence on other system.
