INTRODUCTION
1.1 QUESTWORLD- The Testing System
Practice Makes Man Perfect. As the saying means its practice that makes man perfect in any area may be education, sports or any other fields. So here we provide a web application named INTELLIGENT STUDENT TESTING SYSTEM that helps students to take practice tests which can assist them in preparing for campus recruitment tests, PG entrance tests and certain subjects related to academics.
The application generates a certain set of questions in a particular field of users interest and at the end of the test, displays his/her marks scored in the test. The marks scored helps students to know their level of intelligence and lets them to improve when they take the test again. It also displays the answers for all the questions in a test paper for clarification of the user. Since it is just a practice test there is no specific time for the user to take the test but the application displays the total time taken by the user to complete the test.Also user will be given a provision to select whether he wants negative marking or not. This application also provides the facility of generating question papers for faculties based on Blooms taxonomy in which questions will divided based on 4 levels Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis. Also users can add questions to subjects provided by the administrator and view the question papers generated by other faculties.

Chapter - 2 LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
The problem statement of our project is to build a web application Which helps the students to test their knowledge in various fields.The user will be given a choice to select a area of his interest and take a test on it.The result of his/her test will be displayed on the page once he/she completes writing the test. Online exam makes the examination task simpler and easier as anyone can take the exam whenever they wish to. The approach to this kind of application may be different by different people. Intelligent Student Testing System is one such approach we have tried. As we have seen in earlier approaches it would be like, the entire question would display in a single page or one in each page. Some application may be restricted only for aptitude section or any specific section. But our application is allows the user take up the test in 3 different areas i.e., Aptitude test, PG entrance test(here Gate) and computer science related subjects like c & c++ and operating system. Also our application provides a number of sample papers of different kinds of test which was not existing in the earlier application what we had seen. So this is one advantage of our application. Usually an online exam is just about taking test and getting results. We came up with a new idea which would be helpful for faculties. That is, it also has a provision of generating question paper by the faculty based Blooms Taxonomy in which questions are classified into 4 levels(Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis) so that it will be easier for the faculty to select the questions. It has a very good user interface for the selection of questions and the display of question paper. Since it is just a practice test there is no specific time for the user to take the test but the application displays the total time taken by the user to complete the test. 3

OVERALL DESCRIPTION
Project perspective
This application makes the examination process simpler and faster with a very interactive user interface. It enables students to take the test in their field of interest and get the marks immediately which does not happen in usual manual examination process. Also the application is designed such that the user can select only one option for one question and not allowed to select more than one. This application also provides the facility for the faculties to generate question paper based on Blooms Taxonomy.
3.2.2
Project Function
The project is divided into 4 modules. Module 1: Placement papers It consists of two different patterns of aptitude papers like technical aptitude and general aptitude Module2: PG Entrance exam papers It includes entrance exam papers for CAT and GATE Module 3: Computer related subject It includes subjects like C, C++, Operating System etc.
Module 4: Generating question papers
and adding questions.Faculties can generate
question paper from the questions available in the database. He can also add questions to the subjects provided by the administrator. The database includes different set of questions that is classified based on Blooms Taxonomy which consists of levels like Knowledge: In the knowledge level of Bloom's Taxonomy, questions are asked solely to test whether a student has gained specific information from a particular subject i.e to test the basic knowledge of the student in a particular subject. Comprehension: Demonstrative understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas Application: Application questions are those where students have to actually apply or use the knowledge they have learned. Analysis: In the analysis level, students will be required to go beyond knowledge and application and analyze a problem. You are probably writing analysis questions when you use words like analyze, investigate, infer etc. Synthesis: With synthesis, students are required to use the given facts to create new theories or make
predictions. You are probably writing synthesis questions when you use words like invent, imagine, create, compose, etc. Evaluation: Present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of criteria. 6

SYSTEM DESIGN
4.1 Front End: Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language and Hypertext Preprocessor
XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language) is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely-used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the language in which web pages are written. XHTML was developed to make HTML more extensible and increase interoperability with other data formats. There are various differences between XHTML and HTML. The Document Object Model is a tree structure which represents the page internally in applications, and XHTML and HTML are two different ways of representing that in markup (serializations). Both are less expressive than the DOM (for example, "--" may be placed in comments in the DOM, but cannot be represented in a comment in either XHTML or HTML), and generally XHTML's XML syntax is a little more expressive than HTML (for example, arbitrary namespaces are not allowed in HTML). So, firstly one source of differences is immediate: XHTML uses an XML syntax, while HTML uses a pseudo-SGML syntax (officially SGML for HTML 4 and under, but never in practice, and standardized away from SGML in HTML5).
4.2 Back End :MYSQL database using Wamp Server

The Questions to be displayed in each test is stored in the database in respective table.The table for the first three modules consists of attributes like question number, question, four options and answer.
25
The 1st module i.e., Placement Papers is divided into 2 categories namely Technical Aptitude and General Aptitude. Technical Aptitude is further divided into 3 tables namely computer science technical, electronics and communication technical and mechanical technical. The 2nd module i.e., PG entrance exam consists of questions related to GATE in gate table in the database. The 3rd module i.e., Computer related subjects includes 3 subjects like C, C++ and Operating system. These subjects are created as tables in the database. Each of these tables consists of attributes like question number, question, four options and answer. When user takes any one of the test questions will be retrieved from respective table from the database along with the options where in user can mark only one option for one question. For the 4th module i.e., Question Paper Generation, there exists 3 subjects, C, C++ and Operating System. Questions for these subjects are entered in the database so that the faculties can select the questions when generating question paper. The table consists of attributes like question number, question, level and marks. The user can also add questions to the subjects provided by the admin and also view the questions selected by other users.

Chapter 6 SYSTEM TESTING

6.1 INTRODUCTION
System testing of software or hardware is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements. System testing falls within the scope of black box testing, and as such, should require no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic. System testing is usually required before and after a system is put in place. A series of systematic procedures are referred to while testing is being performed. These procedures tell the tester how the system should perform and where common mistakes may be found. Testers usually try to break the system by entering data that may cause the system to malfunction or return incorrect information. System testing is performed on the entire system in the context of System Requirement Specification (SRS). System testing is an investigatory testing phase, where the focus is to have almost a destructive attitude and tests not only the design, but also the behavior and even the believed expectations of the user. It is also intended to test up to and beyond the bounds defined en the software requirements specification. The testing phase is performed after the coding to detect all the errors and provide quality assurance and ensure reliability of the software. Testing is vital to the success of the system. During testing, the software to be tested is executed with a set of test cases, and the behavior of the system for the test cases is evaluated to determine if the system is performing as expected. Clearly, the success of testing in revealing errors depends critically on the test cases. The different testing strategies employed in this project are explained in this chapter.

6.2
UNIT TESTING
In computer programming, unit testing is a software verification and validation method in which a programmer tests if individual units of source code are fit for use. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application. It is also called as Module Testing. The goal of unit testing is to isolate each part of the program and show that the individual parts are correct. By testing the parts of a program first and then testing the sum of its parts, integration testing becomes much easier.
6.3
INTEGRATION TESTING
Integration testing is the phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. It occurs after unit testing and before system testing. Integration testing takes as its input modules that have been unit tested, groups them in larger aggregates, applies tests defined in an integration test plan to those aggregates, and delivers as its output the integrated system ready for system testing. The purpose of integration testing is to verify functional, performance, and reliability requirements placed on major design items. All the different modules of the project were combined and tested. Integration Testing was found to be a successful.
6.4 VALIDATION TESTING

Validation succeeds when system functions in a manner that can be reasonably expected by the end used.This is achieved through a series of black-box test that demonstates with experiments.
The test case specification for the entire system are given in the following table

CONCLUSION AND SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK

Our Project Intelligent student testing system is a website which tests the knowledge of the students in various fields. It automatically selects the multi-choice questions from the database on the area selected by the user. The user will be given choice in areas like aptitude, computer related subjects and post graduate entrance exams. The user will also be given a choice of creating the question paper based on specified scheme and also he will be able to add questions to requested subjects. The questions are classified based on blooms taxonomy. The application also contains sample papers, resume patterns and FAQs on interviews which can be referred by the users. The administrator is responsible for managing the users, scanning the users applications, generate reports and updating the questions. This project is flexible and can be modified to incorporate further changes.We are happy to use these languages,which gave us a new orientation and dimension in programming as well as interfacing.It was also a great expierence working in windows XP environment. As a part of future work ,application can be improved by adding the timer,so that user is allowed to take a test in specified time.
