Online-Examination System

INTRODUCTION
Background problem
The whole process of assigning test
and evaluating their scores after the test, was done
manually till date. It is very time consuming . Also it is
difficult to keep
well

as

the

the answer sheets being generated as

maintenance

of

the

record

of

each

examination. The chance of loss of records is high and

record searching is difficult. Result processing takes more
time and the presence of more invigilators is a must if
there are more number of students to write the exam.

Online-Examination System

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Existing system
The Existing system of conducting
examination process is manual. It has so many problems.
So

we

introduce

new

system,

which

is

fully

computerized. Existing system is a large man power

process and is difficult to implement. Working of existing
system is given below: Student Registration is the first
process . As the part of the registration, the student has to
enter his name, address etc into the registration form.
After the registration, make the question papers and it
will give to the prospective student. The question papers
contain total mark, subject, duration, questionpaper
etc.

A group of person

does evaluation of answer sheet. After the evaluation of

the Answer sheet , the result is published. And also make
the mark list.

Online-Examination System

Proposed system
The main objective of the
online

examination

system

is

that

it

helps

companies/institutions to conduct exams to any number of

candidates at a time, in an automated manner. It reduces
the time consumption and workload that exist in the
current system of examination. It also helps in storing the
record of each examination and the results are also stored
in the system. This makes the searching of the records
easier than the existing system.

Objectives of the proposed system

The main purpose of the system is to
efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a
fully automated system that not only saves a lot of time
but also gives fast results. It is a cost-effective and popular
means of mass- evaluation system.
The administrator of the system prepares
the tests and questions for each exam. The candidates
can login through the client computers with their register
number given to them and can take the exam. The
questions are shuffled in a random order so that
possibilities for getting questions in the same order for the
students who are sitting near, is very less. A timer will
monitor the time and after the time limit the system itself
submit the test. If it is before time, candidates can submit
it to view their result. The result analysis is very easy as it
is done by the system. So it saves a lot of time since no
4

Online-Examination System
manual correction is needed in the system. No restriction
is there that the invigilator has to be present when the
students take the test.

Feasibility study
Feasibility is a measure of how
beneficial the development of the information system will
be to an organization. This is done by investigating the
existing system in the area under investigation or
generally ideas about a new system. It is a test of a
system proposal according to its workability, impact on the
organization, ability to meet user needs, and effective use
of resources.
Three key considerations are involved in the feasibility
analysis: economic, technical, and legal.

Economic feasibility
Economic analysis is the most frequently
used method for evaluating the effectiveness of a
5

Online-Examination System
proposed system. It is more commonly known as cost
benefit analysis, the procedure to determine the benefits
and saving that are expected from a candidate system
and compare them with costs. If the benefits outweigh
costs then a decision is made to design and implement the
system. Otherwise make alterations in the proposed
system.
The innovation of the new system has
much influence on the economical side of the company.
Manuel system is highly cost driven due to the high labor
costs.

So

if

company

registers

with

the

Online_Examination site, they can automate their day-today activities. Thus the system is economically feasible.

Technical feasibility
In examining Technical feasibility of the
system, more importance is given to the hardware
interaction part of the system. The assessments of
technical feasibility centers on the existing system and to
what extent it can support the proposed addition. This was
based on an outline design of system requirements in
turns of inputs, files, programs, procedures, and staff. It
involves

financial

considerations

to

accommodate

technical enhancements. Online_Examination being a web

based application, it uses .Net framework, 800MHZ
computer, 20 GB Hard disk.

Online-Examination System

Legal feasibility
People are inherently resistant to
change, and computers have been known to facilitate
change. An estimate should be made about the reaction of
the user staff towards the development of a computerized
system. Computer installations have something to do with
turnover, transfers and changes in job status. The
introduction of a candidate system requires special effort
to educate, sell and train the staff for conducting the
business.
The system is designed such that even a computer
ignorant person can interact with the system freely. So the system
requires not much effort to train and educate people, the system is that
much legally feasible.

Online-Examination System

- HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

It is a non proprietary formal based upon SGML
(Standard Generalized Markup Language).
It is used to publish information for global distribution.

- HTML 5(Hyper Text Markup Language)

It is used to publish information for global
distribution,With some tags new in addition prior to html.

- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

CSS enable us to define how each marked up
element of our content is presented on the page.

- Java Script
It brings a web page to life by allowing it to respond
to a users input with checking of Validations, JQuery

- PHP5

The PHP programs run on a server specifically a web
server

16

Online-Examination System

PHPPHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext

Preprocessor".

PHP is a server side scripting language that is

embedded in HTML. It is used to manage dynamic content,
databases, session tracking, even build entire e-commerce
sites.

It is integrated with a number of popular databases,

including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, Informix,
and Microsoft SQL Server.

PHP is pleasingly zippy in its execution, especially

when compiled as an Apache module on the Unix side.
The MySQL server, once started, executes even very
complex queries with huge result sets in record-setting
time.

PHP supports a large number of major protocols such

as POP3, IMAP, and LDAP. PHP4 added support for Java and
distributed object architectures (COM and CORBA), making
n-tier development a possibility for the first time.

17

Online-Examination System
Common uses of PHP:
-PHP performs system functions, i.e. from files on a system
it can create, open, read, write, and close them.

-PHP can handle forms, i.e. gather data from files, save
data to a file, thru email you can send data, return data to
the user.

-You add, delete, modify elements within your database

thrugh PHP.

-Access cookies variables and set cookies.

-Using PHP, you can restrict users to access some pages of

your website.

-It can encrypt data.

18

Online-Examination System

Characteristics of PHPFive important characteristics make PHP's practical nature

possible:

-Simplicity

-Efficiency

-Security

-Flexibility

-Familiarity

PHP Parser

19

Online-Examination System
In order to process PHP script instructions a parser
must be installed to generate HTML output that can be
sent to the Web Browser.

HTML-

HTML or HyperText Markup Language is the standard

markup language used to create web pages.

HTML is written in the form of HTML elements

consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like
<html>). HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like
<h1> and </h1>, although some tags represent empty
elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>. The
first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the
end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing
tags).

The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML

documents and compose them into visible or audible web
pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but
uses the tags to interpret the content of the page. HTML
describes the structure of a website semantically along
with cues for presentation, making it a markup language
rather than a programming language.

20

Online-Examination System

HTML elements form the building blocks of all

websites. HTML allows images and objects to be
embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It
provides a means to create structured documents by
denoting structural semantics for text such as headings,
paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can
embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript
which affect the behavior of HTML web pages.

Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style

Sheets (CSS) to define the look and layout of text and
other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the HTML and
the CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over
explicit presentational HTML.

General HTML syntaxTo make a web page is quite simple. When you use your
browser to surf, each "place" is really a document telling
your browser what to show on your screen. The browser
recognizes a set of commands called HTML. These special
commands are given inside the left and right brackets, "<"
and ">". These are called tags. What goes inside may be
capital or small letters; it doesn't matter which you use.
Most people use capitals because they are easier to read;
however, the choice is yours.

Every HTML page should follow this basic form:

<HTML>
21

Online-Examination System
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Title of Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

The HTML tags that define your page go here

</BODY>
</HTML>

The entire document consists of HTML tags, which begin

with the <HTML> and end with the </HTML>. Header
information is given between the <HEAD> and </HEAD>
tags. This should include the document title that will
appear at the top of the browser window. The entries
between the BODY tags will appear in the browser window.
Many HTML tags come in pairs, but we will see many more
that do not. Be sure to nest all tags that come in pairs:
<HEAD> ... <TITLE> ... </TITLE> ... </HEAD> is OK, but
<HEAD> ... <TITLE> ... </HEAD> ... </TITLE> is not.

22

Online-Examination System

CSS-

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet

language used for describing the look and formatting of a
document written in a markup language. While most often
used to style web pages and interfaces written in HTML
and XHTML, the language can be applied to any kind of
XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is
a cornerstone specification of the web and almost all web
pages use CSS style sheets to describe their presentation.

CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of

document content from document presentation, including
elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts.This
separation can improve content accessibility, provide
more flexibility and control in the specification of
presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to
share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in
the structural content (such as by allowing for tableless
web design).

CSS can also allow the same markup page to be

presented in different styles for different rendering
23

Online-Examination System
methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read
out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on
Braille-based, tactile devices. It can also be used to allow
the web page to display differently depending on the
screen size or device on which it is being viewed. While
the author of a document typically links that document to
a CSS file, readers can use a different style sheet, perhaps
one on their own computer, to override the one the author
has specified. However if the author or the reader did not
link the document to a specific style sheet the default
style of the browser will be applied.

CSS specifies a priority scheme to determine which

style rules apply if more than one rule matches against a
particular element. In this so-called cascade, priorities or
weights are calculated and assigned to rules, so that the
results are predictable.

Online-Examination System

Java script-

JavaScript (JS) is a dynamic computer programming

language. It is most commonly used as part of web
browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts
to interact with the user, control the browser,
communicate asynchronously, and alter the document
content that is displayed.It is also being used in serverside programming, game development and the creation of
desktop and mobile applications.

JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language

with dynamic typing and has first-class functions. Its
syntax was influenced by C. JavaScript copies many
names and naming conventions from Java, but the two
languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different
semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are
taken from the Self and Scheme programming languages.

25

Online-Examination System
It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting objectoriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

The application of JavaScript in use outside of web

pagesfor example, in PDF documents, site-specific
browsers, and desktop widgetsis also significant. Newer
and faster JavaScript VMs and platforms built upon them
(notably Node.js) have also increased the popularity of
JavaScript for server-side web applications. On the client
side, JavaScript was traditionally implemented as an
interpreted language but just-in-time compilation is now
performed by recent (post-2012) browsers.

JavaScript was formalized in the ECMAScript

language standard and is primarily used as part of a web
browser
(client-side
JavaScript).
This
enables
programmatic access to computational objects within a
host environment.

26

Online-Examination System

SQL-

It is also pronounced as Sequel server. This is a

client-server database management system developed
by Microsoft for large scale databases. It comes into
RDBMS (Relational Database Management System)
category. It works based on SQL (System query
language), a latest and advanced database language.

Authentication

27

Online-Examination System
A user need to login to this software system in-order to
manage the database. SQL server allows us to logon in
two ways.
1. Windows authentication
2. SQL Server authentication
In windows authentication, system recognizes the
user through his/her windows login credentials. That
means, if a user logs into a windows operating system,
he/she becomes an authorized user to use all resources
that accept windows authentication and available in the
system. If the logged in computer is configured as a
valid client under a DNS (domain name server), the user
becomes eligible to access any resource of any
computer that is working under the DNS with widows
authentication. In front end (programming) the
following connection string can be used to connect to
the server.
Server=[server name] ; initial
name]; trusted_connection=true;

catalog=[database

In SQL server authentication, user will be provided a

user id and password. A user from any system in the
network can use the user id and password to connect to
the database server. In front end (programming) the
following connection string can be used to connect to
the server.
Server=[server name] ; initial catalog=[database
name]; user id=[user id]; password=[password];

SQL Server Database objects

29

Online-Examination System
In a SQL server the following database objects can be
created and maintained.

Database Users (user accounts)

Databases
Tables
Views
Constraints
Indexes
Triggers
Stored procedures
Stored functions

DATABASE USERS

A database user is an authenticated user and allowed to

logon to the server to use a set of privileged
(authorized) database objects. Administrator (user id:
sa) or any user having administrator privileges can
access all objects without any access restrictions. Any
normal user will get limited access on some very
important database objects. The following list shows the
general access privileges on objects.

SELECT
CREATE
INSERT
UPDATE
DELETE

A person who creates and maintains his/her database

objects is called owner of those database objects. He
can GRANT or REVOKE privileges on his/her objects to
other users.

30

Online-Examination System

DATABASES

A database is a collection of database objects. It is a

container to all tables, views, indexes, constraints,
triggers, stored procedures and functions. All related
objects of a database of an organization are maintained
as a database. Every database is maintained by the
server in the form of two files. One is a database file
with .mdf and another is a log data file with extension
.ldf. These files can not be accessed by any other user
except administrator of the system.

TABLES

A table is an actual data storage object and used to

store the raw data of an entity. A table collects data in
the form of rows (records) and columns (fields). So,
while creating a table a user has to declare the columns
in terms of column name, column type and width.
Column name is a identity name of the column, column
type specifies the type of data to be allowed in to the
column and column width specifies the maximum
number of characters or range of data to be allowed in
to the column. A table allows a maximum of 1024
columns and with an unlimited number of rows.

31

Online-Examination System

VIEWS

A view is a filter defined on a table. A view behaves like

a table but with restricted columns and rows. A view
can be used to insert, update and delete the contents of
a table. But all actions work under the condition (filter)
defined in the view. That means we cannot delete,
update records that are not coming under the filter
definition of the view. So, views are very useful to
restrict columns and rows from the users depend on
their accessibility.

CONSTRAINTS

These are a set of logical conditions built on the

business logics of an organization to allow and maintain
data in tables. A data that is violating these rules can
not be allowed into any table of the database. These are
defined on columns and rows while creating the tables.
They are listed below.
Column level constraints
Not null : Column becomes Mandatory
Unique: Column does not allow duplicate data
Primary key: Column becomes default field with
Unique and Not null natures
Row level constraint
32

Online-Examination System
Check (logical expression)
Relational constraint (between two tables)
Foreign key/Reference Key constraint

INDEX

An index is a database object that helps the database to

speedup the data search in a table. It holds a data
expression/data from one or more columns of a table in
ascending order to find records quickly based on values
of those columns. For a table an index will be created
automatically on its primary key column data. It is
called clustered index which is having data from the
primary column in ascending order along with cluster
IDs (physical locations on the disk) of all the rows. When
a search condition is applied on a table through this
column, system searches the corresponding index for
the rows. So, indexes make the data searching faster.

TRIGGERS

A trigger a program that will implicitly (automatically)

executed by the server when a transaction
(INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE) occurs of a table. They are
defined on tables. They are having the following
advantages.
33

Online-Examination System
1. Deleted rows can be automatic backed-up from a
table into its backup table.
2. Old values can be automatically backed-up when
some rows are updates with new values.
3. Special business logics (constraints), that can not
be implemented using standard constraints and
need extra procedures, can be implemented using
trigger procedures.

STORED PROCEDURES AND FUNCTIONS

These are the procedures created and stored in

database separately. They are not attached to any table
in the database. They take value through parameters.
Some parameters are used to take data into the
procedure or function, this type of parameters called in
parameters. Some parameters returns values to calling
programs, this type of parameters called out
parameters. Stored functions can return a value or
table. Stored procedures are used to add data to
multiple tables with one transaction. Mainly these
stored procedures and functions are used to perform
tasks programmatically.

Requirement Analysis
Activities in Requirement Analysis:
Requirement Anticipation:
Experienced analyst from previous studies can lead to investigation
of areas that would otherwise go unnoticed by an inexperienced analyst.
Having a background to know what to ask or which aspect to investigate
can be a beneficial to organization. On the other hand, if a bias is
introduced or short cuts are taken in conducting investigation then
requirement anticipation is a problem.
Requirement Investigation:
This activity is at the heart of system analysis. Using a variety of
tools and skills analyst study the current system and documents its
features for further analysis. Requirement investigation relies on the factfinding techniques.
Requirement Specification:
The data produced during fact-finding investigation are analyzed to
determine requirement specification. This is the description of features
for new system. This activity has three inter-related partsa) Analysis of factual data:
35

Online-Examination System
The data collected during fact-finding study are examined
to determine how well the system is performing.
b) Identification of essential requirements:
Features that must be included in that system ranging
from operational details to performance criteria are
specified.

c) Selection of requirement fulfillment strategy:

The methods that will be used to achieve the stated requirements are
selected.

Feasibility Study
A feasibility studies main goal is to assess the
economic viability of the proposed business. The
feasibility study needs to answer the question: Does the
idea make economic sense? The study should provide a
thorough analysis of the business opportunity, including a
look at all the possible roadblocks that may stand in the
way of the cooperatives success.

The outcome of the feasibility study will indicate

whether or not to proceed with the proposed venture. If
the results of the feasibility study are positive, then the
cooperative can proceed to develop a business plan.

If the results show that the project is not a sound

business idea, then the project should not be pursued.
Although it is difficult to accept a feasibility study that
shows these results, it is much better to find this out
sooner rather than later, when more time and money
would have been invested and lost.

37

Online-Examination System
A feasibility study should examine three main areas
Operational issues

- Economical Feasibility

- Technical Feasibility

- Operational Feasibility

Economical Feasibility:

38

Online-Examination System
Based on the estimates that have been gathered
from the preceding sections of the study, the organization
needs to determine its overall financial situation. Sources
and uses of financing should be listed.
Questions such as the following need to be
considered:
What is the total start-up costs required in order to begin
operations? For instance, what are the capital costs of the
land, plant and equipment, and other start-up costs such
as legal and accounting costs?
What are the operating costs involved? These include the daily
costs involved in running the business, such as wages, rent, utilities, and
interest payments on outstanding debt.
The total cost incurred for development and the implementation will
be less than that of the previous system. The system is economically
feasible since it outcasts the entire overhead incurred due to
implementation of the system, because of the following reasons
We have used freeware software combination that is
HTML,HTML5, CSS, Java Script and PHP MySQL MS
Windows. And after detailed testing system will be made
available freely at whatever cost incurred will be very less
compare to benefits.

39

Online-Examination System

Technical Feasibility:
This area concerns the internal set-up of the
cooperative. Questions to be answered in this area
include what type of technology will the business need to
implement this system? What are the costs involved?
This includes the initial sales and installation costs as well
as the operational costs of running the system.
Technical Feasibility plays an important role in
feasibility study. This study reveals all the technical
aspects and its corresponding results.

Operational Feasibility:

The proposed system after implementation will satisfy the

required goals besides providing many other facilities. The
system is easy to understand. Automatic validations of
40

Online-Examination System
input enhance the operational feasibility further more. We
are developing this software for computer Lab so the only
need is user should be computer literate.

Our input screens are familiar with their existing data

processing environment as we have checked acceptability
of users for the input screens frequently. As a part of the
system we can better understand user need so system is
operationally feasible. System operations will be very
much easy for the user. This satisfies the operational
feasibility.

System Design

Introduction:
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.
