IMPLEMENTING AN ONLINE EXAMINATION SYSTEM

Technology has supported online exams successfully for several years, and has progressively improved the process over the years to accommodate more students and ensure a smoother online examination for students. However, some schools are still involved in the conventional manual system of writing examination. The manual process of taking exams is time-consuming, tedious and cumbersome, hence the need for a better, faster and more reliable means of examinations. The objective of this paper is to provide a report on the implementation of a web-based examination system. The system was modeled using UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams such as Use Case diagram, Sequence diagram and activity diagrams.. It was developed using ASP (Active Server Pages). Net and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), C-sharp and Microsoft SQL Server. ASP.Net, C-sharp and HTML were used for designing the interface, MS SQL server were used for the back-end of the system. The system was developed in order to ease the process of conducting exams and processing exam results.
