INTRODUCTION

The quiz system project mainly focus on the concept of online test. If an user is already a member of Quiz system, then user can be authenticated by giving their username and password, Otherwise user should use sign up option to be a member of quiz system. After successful authentication, the user selects the language in which the questions will be displayed. User should answer the questions in allotted time duration.

Initially only one question will be displayed and after answering to that question, the next questions will be displayed and so on. Once all the questions are completed, the results will be displayed as, number of right answers, number of wrong answer and mark percentage. If the user wants to continue, then the user can select another language and proceed. Otherwise the user can sign out. In the project, the front end is Java, the back end is MS Access involving ODBC connection. User can use Quiz system from anywhere and anytime.

Login Module Insertion to Database Module Extracting from Database Module

THEME OF THE PROJECT

2.EXISTING SYSTEM

System Analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a system and their relationships within and outside of the system. Here the key question is what all problems exist in the present system? What must be done to solve the problem? Analysis begins when a user or manager begins a study of the program using existing system. During analysis, data collected on the various files, decision points and transactions handled by the present system. The commonly used tools in the system are Data Flow Diagram, interviews, etc.

2.1

DRAWBACK
1. Training, experience and common sense are required for collection of relevant information needed to develop the system. 2. The success of the system depends largely on how clearly the problem is defined.

3.PROPOSED SYSTEM
Proposed system is a Quiz System. According to designate we can create an account, writing exam using that account. A good analysis model should provide not only the mechanisms of problem understanding but also the frame work of the solution. Thus it should be studied thoroughly by collecting data about the system. Then the proposed system should be analyzed thoroughly in accordance with the needs.

TESTING

Introduction: Software Testing is the process of executing a program or system with the intent of finding errors. This is the major quality measure employed during the software engineering development. Its basic function is to detect error in the software. Testing is necessary for the proper functioning of the system. Testing is usually performed for the following purposes: To improve quality. For Verification & Validation (V&V). For reliability estimation. Objectives

As the Philosophy behind testing is to find errors that are created with the express intent of determining whether the system will process correctly. There are several rules that can serve as testing objectives.

If testing is conducted successfully according to the objectives as started above, it would uncover error in the software. Also testing demonstrates that software functions appear to the working according to specification, that performance requirements appear to have been met.

Testing Evaluation:

In general, testing is finding out how well something works. In terms of human beings, testing tells what level of knowledge or skill has been acquired. In computer hardware and software development, testing is used at key checkpoints in the overall process to determine whether objectives are being met. For example, in software development, product objectives are sometimes tested by product user representatives. When the design is complete, coding follows and the group of programmers involved; and at the system level then test the finished code at the unit or module level by each programmer.

Software Testing Strategies: A strategy for software testing integrates software test case design techniques into a well planned series of steps that result in the successful construction of software. Any testing strategy must incorporate test planning, test case design, test execution and the resultant data collection and evaluation. The various software testing strategies are;

Unit Testing Functional Testing Stress Testing Integration testing User Acceptance testing.

Unit Testing:

Unit testing focuses on the verification effort on the smallest unit of each module in the system. It comprises the set of tests performed by an individual programmer prior to the integration of the unit into a larger system. It involves various tests that a programmer will perform in a program unit.

Using the unit test plans prepared in the design of the system development as a guide, the control paths are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the module. In this testing, each module is tested and it was found to be working satisfactorily as per the expected output from the module. Functional Testing: Functional test involves exercising the code with correct input values for which the expected results are known. The system being developed is tested with all the nominal input values, so that the expected results are received. The system is also tested with the boundary values. Stress Testing: Stress tests are designed to overload a system in various ways. The system being developed is tested like attempting to sign on more than the maximum number of allowed terminals, inputting mismatched data types, processing more than the allowed number of identifiers.

Integration testing: This is a systematic technique for constructing the program structure while at the same time conducting tests to uncover errors associated with the interface. In this testing all the modules are integrated and the entire system is tested as a whole and the possibility of occurring error are rare since it has already been unit tested. In case if any error occurs, it is found out in this step and rectified as a whole before passing to the next step.

User Acceptance testing: The user acceptance is the key factor in the development of a successful system. The system under consideration is tested for acceptance by constantly keeping in touch with the prospective users at the time of development and the changes are made as and when required.

A sample testing cycle: Although testing varies between organizations, there is a cycle to testing: 1. Requirements Analysis: Testing should begin in the requirements phase of the software development life cycle. During the design phase, testers work with developers in determining what aspects of a design are testable and under what parameter those tests work. 2. Test Planning: Test Strategy, Test Plan(s), Test Bed creation. 3. Test Development: Test Procedures, Test Scenarios, Test Cases, Test Scripts to use in testing software. 4. Test Execution: Testers execute the software based on the plans and tests and report any errors found to the development team. 5. Test Reporting: Once testing is completed, testers generate metrics and make final reports on their test effort and whether or not the software tested is ready for release. 6. Retesting the Defects Not all errors or defects reported must be fixed by a software development team. Some may be caused by errors in configuring the test software to match the development or production environment. Some defects can be handled by a workaround in the production environment. Others might be deferred to future releases of the software, or the deficiency might be accepted by the business user. There are yet other defects that may be rejected by the development team (of course, with due reason) if they deem it inappropriate to be called a defect.

Test Cases: Limitations and Scope for Future Enhancements: Limitations of the system: Only the permanent employees can access the system. System works in all platforms and its compatible environments. Advanced techniques are not used to check the authorization.

Future Enhancements: It is not possible to develop a system that makes all the requirements of the user. User requirements keep changing as the system is being used. Some of the future enhancements that can be done to this system are: As the technology emerges, it is possible to upgrade the system and can be adaptable to desired environment. Because it is based on object-oriented design, any further changes can be easily adaptable. Based on the future security issues, security can be improved using emerging technologies. Attendance module can be added

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

CONCLUSION & FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

CONCLUSION
The Quiz System is a great improvement over the manual system like hand written exams. The computerization of the system has speed up the process and it is time consuming. It is very difficult to keep answer papers and all such things. The system was thoroughly checked and tested with dummy data. The system avoids data redundancy and inconsistency. It provides security and integrity. Data is easily retrieved. Thus the system is user friendly.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

The proposed system is purely an Exam Suite we will make this project as online where every customer using their E-mail ID can view their result details; they cant edit or make changes in their account. Also, we can include online, updating by the authorized person. When making online, Exam procedures and latest news about the Exam will be seen in our software. Any comments can be included by the user.
