 Scope
(Teacher) OTL is an Automated Online Test System that allows a teacher
or an educator to create his / her test that can consist of multiple choice test
questions and true / false test questions which are generated by utilizing the
Unix environment. The administer/ teacher is allow to generate as many
questions as needed. This Automated Online Test System which the
administrator has to supply his/ her own testbank thus the system will
randomly generate questions for a test. This particular system also has it own
automated Scoring system etc.
(Student) OTL is an Automated Online Test System that allows a student
(s) to take online test and have the capability to view his / her score
immediately after taking the online exam. The student is also given the
opportunity to view both the correct and incorrect solutions. Thus, this will
give the student opportunity to hopefully improve on the next time if some of
the same answers or presented.
 System Path
Create a repository
By typing the command
~testlab/bin/Xrepository/
C
Xrepos_Create then hit
Enter then type rehash
Create a test bank note
Install online test by you can look at
Typing the command samplebank.txt as an
example you may need to
~cis4932joe/bin/Install_
OnlineTester.csh X checkin in order to use it.
then type rehash Make sure you use the
sample naming technique

If the test is generated sucessfully

Now type MakeTest.csh Please check to make sure
The run the test by typing the
and hit enter. Select
./testname-t.run and see if there are any all the files needed are in
each choice in order and
Error with your test. If the test does not
Generate please check your testbank
make sure to enter in all U
your repository
It may be that you have simply entered
test information as
U P
requested note to user
a double quote which is not allowed
use the testbank that you
or that you may some simple parse errors
created.

After finding that all the test

components are working one
is now ready to have his/ her
students access the test

• It also alerts one to re-enter if there is an opportunity to try again
at particular question thus it will only allow the person to re-enter
an answer according to the maxtries defined for test.

• It also alerts one if they no longer are able to re-take the test
that they have reached his/ her maximum attempts at taking the test.

• It records the test try in advance to prevent student from studying

the test without penalty.

• After so many attempts the system will supply a new version of the
test to the student.

 Errors Found
• Deficiencies
• The system currently is allowing the
• students to have the opportunity
• to take the test more times then
• that which was predefined when
• generating the test.
•
• The system at this time does not alert
• The user to the fact that when a
• compile error occurs in the system
• that it may be the simple fact that
• he/she may have placed double quote
• someone within the test bank that
• not allowed.
•
 Errors Found (Continued)
• The system does not allow you to re-enter information if you have already hit enter before
you have deleted and corrected the incorrect information. By simply going back if you
already hit entered. You can not go back to the previous line you have to go back to the
beginning by selecting that choice where you entered the information in incorrectly. Thus,
you are required to re-enter all the previous lines even if some of the lines previously were
entered in correctly.
• The system does not alert the user that he / she must append class.cpp when asking for
the name of the class file.
• The system does not alert the user that he/ she must append proc.cpp when ask for the
name of class procedure file.
• The system will allow a user to enter the number of questions as being a letter when it
should only accept positive number and not characters , however, it will alert the user after
completing step 4 the it does there is an compile error in test 1 that has undeclared e.
However it should alert the user that he/ she must re-enter when he/she enters
unacceptable values at the time that it occurs. WORKING ON TEST# 1, 2 Questions, e
TRIES, Due on 6/31 at 1 PM, TESTID = test1, TestBankSize = 50, SourceFileName =
test1.cpp, tryLimit = 2
• test1.cpp: In function `int main()':
• test1.cpp:132: `e' undeclared (first use this function)
• test1.cpp:132: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
• function it appears in.)
• . The user should be alerted not to let the banksize = the number of question or the system
will not work correctly. Thus one should enter the bank size as being larger than the
number of question be entered.
• . The system should be more informative when it comes to presenting error deficiencies.
