Design And Implementation Of A General Examination System

With the advancements in computer technology, network technology and evaluation technology, computer-based test (CBT) has attracted more and more exam organizers. Now CBT has been widely used in the qualification certification, enterprises recruitment, career appraisal, IT vendor certification, internal job evaluation, online learning and continuing education, etc. CBT has become the development trend of the future and direction of the exam. Implementing a general CBT system is significant for the promotion of computerization, reducing operating costs and meet customer’s needs.Examination system is deployed and run in the examination room. It is responsible for management of the examination process, help and guide candidates to complete the exam. Examination system is the core subsystems of CBT, is the key to successfully deliver an examination. General examination system needs to meet the requirements of different exams in examination process organizations, user interface, paper structure, timing, navigation and questions, also need to ensure safe and reliable test data.General examination system integrated use of the network, WebKit, HTML, JavaScript and SQLite technology, combined with the design of architecture, functionality and processes to achieve a common test platform. General examination system used C/S architecture, took into account the system scalability and customization, and addressed the customized exams requirements in user interface, presentation, questions and process control, etc.Firstly, This paper described the advantages of the computer-based test compared to traditional paper and pencil tests, and the requirements for the implementation of computer-based test, and described the current status of CBT in domestic and foreign, then compared the B/C based CBT and C/S based CBT. In chapter 3, Followed by an analysis of the various types of examinations, this paper gives the system architecture, design and core data structure definitions for the general examination system. In chapter 4, some key modules and functions are implemented. Finally, we introduced the applications of the system, and made some future development prospects.
