Automated Online Test System Presented by Zelda Colson

1. Welcome To (OLT) Automated Online Test System Presented by Zelda Colson

2. Scope (Teacher)OTL is an Automated Online Test System that allow a teacher or an administrator to create his / her test that can consist of multiple choice test questions and true / false test questions which are generated by utilizing the Unix environment. The administer/ teacher is allow to generate as many questions as needed. This Automated Online Test System which the administrator has to supply his/ her own testbank thus the system will randomly generate questions for a test. This particular system also has it own automated Scoring system etc. (Student) OTL is an Automated Online Test System that allows a student (s) to take online test and have the capability to view his / her score immediately after taking the online exam. The student is also given the opportunity to view both the correct and incorrect solutions. Thus, this will give the student opportunity to hopefully improve on the next time if some of the same answers or presented.

3. System Path Create a test bank note you can look at samplebank.txt as an example you may need to checkin in order to use it. Make sure you use the sample naming technique Install online test by Typing the command ~cis4932joe/bin/Install_OnlineTester.csh X then type rehash Create a repository By typing the command ~testlab/bin/Xrepository/ Xrepos_Create then hit Enter then type rehash C If the test is generated sucessfully The run the test by typing the ./testname-t.run and see if there are any Error with your test. If the test does not Generate please check your testbank It may be that you have simply entered a double quote which is not allowed or that you may some simple parse errors Now type MakeTest.csh and hit enter. Select each choice in order and make sure to enter in all test information as requested note to user use the testbank that you created. Please check to make sure all the files needed are in your repository UU P After finding that all the test components are working one is now ready to have his/ her students access the test

4. System files & components Repoistory Bin MakeTest.csh quiz.cpp Compute scores and store scores inthe repository Generate An Online Test Ge Generate test main Program from quizx.cpp template GetAnswer.cpp* Get Answer and display previous answer. GenTest.csh GenTest.run AnsList.cpp Load the answer Help generate main program components ScoreAnswer-t.o ScoreAnswer-v.o ScoreAnswer-x.o ScoreAnswer.h Object files Header file for the version of the scoring function

5. Continued Generate nq questions from bank of nb questions, and save question list GenQuestions.h GenQuestion.o Object file Xrepos_Create Create brand new repository Use to add new assignments to schedule Xa_update_Schedule

6. Inside Make Test.csh Generate Test main Program Source code Define Test Option 1: testid, numquestions, numtries, duemonth, dueday, duehour, maxtries Generat Generate test components from testbank Set test id Set testbanksize TPmcopy quizx.cpp TPmcopy GenTest.csh Build Version of Test(excutable) Quit TPmcopy AnsList.cpp, scoreAnswer.h, GenQuestions.h, GetAnswer.cpp, ScoreAnswer-$testsyle.o, GenQuestion.0

7. System Stakeholders Thestakeholders: Teachers -User who will utilize the system to create his/her own online test Students-User who will utilized the system by taking the test created by the tester

8. Views and Constraints (Student) Views Welcome Message User name Date/ Time (Start and Completion) Test score Test name Answers both old answer and new answer Questions

9. Constraints • It also alerts one to re-enter if there is an opportunity to try again at particular question thus it will only allow the person to reenter an answer according to the maxtries defined for test. • It also alerts one if they no longer are able to re-take the test that they have reached his/ her maximum attempts at taking the test. • It records the test try in advance to prevent student from studying the test without penalty. • If so many attempts the system will supply a new version of the test to the student.

13. Errors Found • Deficiencies • The system currently is allowing the • students to have the opportunity • to take the test more times then • that which was predefined when • generating the test. • The system at this time does not alert • The user to the fact that when a • compile error occurs in the system • that it may be the simple fact that • he/she may have placed double quote • someone within the test bank that • not allowed.

14. Errors Found (Continued) • The system does not allow you to re-enter information if you have already hit enter before you have deleted and corrected the incorrect information. By simply going back if you already hit entered. You can not go back to the previous line you have to go back to the beginning by selecting that choice where you entered the information in incorrectly. Thus, you are required to re-enter all the previous lines even if some of the lines previously were entered in correctly. • The system does not alert the user that he / she must append class.cpp when asking for the name of the class file. • The system does not alert the user that he/ she must append proc.cpp when ask for the name of class procedure file. • The system will allow a user to enter the number of questions as being a letter when it should only accept positive number and not characters , however, it will alert the user after completing step 4 the it does there is an compile error in test 1 that has undeclared e. However it should alert the user that he/ she must re-enter when he/she enters unacceptable values at the time that it occurs. WORKING ON TEST# 1, 2 Questions, e TRIES, Due on 6/31 at 1 PM, TESTID = test1, TestBankSize = 50, SourceFileName = test1.cpp, tryLimit = 2 • test1.cpp: In function `int main()': • test1.cpp:132: `e' undeclared (first use this function) • test1.cpp:132: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each • function it appears in.) • . The user should be alerted not to let the banksize = the number of question or the system will not work correctly. Thus one should enter the bank size as being larger than the number of question be entered. • . The system should be more informative when it comes to presenting error deficiencies.
