Develop SRS for Online Examination System. SRS should be as per IEEE standard SRS template. Make
necessary assumptions.

Software Requirement Specification (SRS) for Online Examination

1. Introduction:

The following subsections of the SRS document provide an overview of the entire SRS.

i) Purpose: The purpose of the project is to provide online facility to Institutes to conduct online exams and to
Students to give online exams. Institutes can enter and edit the questions along with the students list. Also
they can view the result. Students can login and give their respective exams and view their score then and
there. Others can view sample papers to get look and feel of the online examination system.

ii) Scope: The website to conduct online examination is “OnlineExamination”. This website provides facility to
institutes to conduct online exams by providing a unique id to each institute. The institute provides questions

along with positive and negative marks. Institute also enters the list of eligible students. All the information
entered can be later edited by the institute.

In turn student can login with their id, name and instituteid to give the exams and can view their result then
and there. Institutes can also view the result of their students.

Benefits: This website reduces the manual work, maintaining accuracy, increasing efficiency and saving time.
Also institutes need not go to develop new software each time, instead they just register and conduct a test.
For students, it saves time of going to far away centers and also they can view their result then and there.

iii) Abbreviations:

JSP stands for Java Server Pages

HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol

iv) References:

IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specification- IEEE STD 830-1993.

v) Overview: The rest of this SRS document describes the various system requirements, interfaces, features
and functionalities in detail.

2. Overall Description: In Online examination system institute can register to conduct an online test and view
the records later. Students can give the test and their respective records, which include their marks for each
test given by them, will be maintained separately. No student can take a particular exam more than once.

(vii) There is a screen for displaying exam details to the students when they are taking exams.

(viii) There is a screen for taking exam for the students.

(ix) There is a screen for displaying of results of students after taking the exam.

(x) Hardware interfaces

(i) Support for printer for printing results then and there.

(ii) Screen resolution of at least 800X600 is required for proper and complete viewing of screens. Higher reso-
lution will be accepted.

(xi) Software interfaces

(i) Any windows based operating system.

(ii) MS Access 2000 as the DBMS-for database.

(iii) IDE (NET BEANS) for developing code.

(xii) Communications interfaces None

(xiii) Memory Constraints At least 512 MB RAM and 5 MB space on hard disk will be required for running the
application.

(xv) Site Adaptation Requirements Web browser with cookies enabled.

ii.) Product Functions: The website will allow access only to authorised users with specific roles
(Administrator- maintains the website, Institutes-Register to conduct the exams, Students-Give the exams on-
line) A summary of the major functions that the website will perform:

a. Provide facility to institutes to register to conduct an online test.

b. Institutes can enter the number of questions, +ve, -ve marks, questions and answers and the list of eligible
students.

c. Students can login and give the tests.

iii.) User Characteristics:

a. Educational level: Users should be comfortable with the English language.

b. Experience: Users should have prior information regarding the online examinations.

c. Skills: Users should have basic knowledge and should be comfortable using general purpose applications on
computers.

iv.) Constraints:

* Since the DBMS being used is MS Access 2000, which is not a very popular DBMS, it will not be able to store a
very huge number of records.

* Due to limited features of DBMS being used performance tuning features will not be applied to the queries
and thus the system may become slow with the increase in number of records being stored.

* An extra security as SSL must be used to secure the marks details and other examination information.

v.) Assumptions: The examinations are all objective. Students can give each exam just once.

vi.) Apportioning of Requirements: The future versions of the website will be having a better database to
handle larger number of records, in a more secure way.

Also separate profile will be maintained later for all students so that he can view all his previous test perfor-
mances.

3. Specific Requirements: This section provides software requirements to a level of detail sufficient to enable
designers to design the system and testers to test the system.
