 ABSTRACT

The project title" AUTOMATIC QUESTION PAPER

GENERATOR" deals with the various levels of project
development and will account for time used in analysis, design,
programming, testing and verification. It is well known fact that
generating a question paper manually is a very difficult process
and it needs more time and man power. So, here we are
proposing an Intelligent Automatic Question Paper Generator
System which provides storage of the data, fast operations,
and high security for all its tasks

The interface of the project work entitled "AUTOMATIC

QUESTION PAPER GENERATOR" is developed using HTML,
CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP as Front end and SQL as the back
end.

1.1 OBJECTIVES

Traditionally question papers were generated manually. Preparing any exam

paper is a very challenging task for the educators because they have to check
whether there is any repetition in the pattern or not, and other than that security is
one of the major concerns for them, also due to lack of teaching staff in any institute,
creation of paper is not at all an easy task.

So, here we are proposing an Intelligent Automatic Question Paper

Generator System which provides storage of the data, fast operations, and high
security for all its tasks. It can be helpful to many educational as well as NGO
institutes.

Tasks performed by this system are automated and because of that storage
space, security is not a concern anymore. Proposed system works upon Natural
Language Processing and is fast due to computer Based automation, streamlined,
randomized and unbiased, secure and generates unique questions and overcomes
the problems of Human based paper generation.

1.2 MODULES USED IN THIS PROJECT

In this project we use only two modules as follow.

• The first module is importing questions.

• The second module is the pattern seating and mark
designing. The third module is the question paper viewing and printing.

2.2 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Front End: HTML, CSS, JavaScript,
PHP Back End: My SQL.
Operating System: Windows
10. Software: XAMPP
Server.

2.3 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

XAMPP SERVER
XAMPP is a free and open-source cross-platform web server solution stack
package developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP
Server, Maria DB database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl
programming languages.

Features of Front End

The part of a website that the user interacts with directly is termed the front
end. It is also referred to as the ‘client side’ of the application. It includes everything
that users experience directly: text colors and styles, images, graphs and tables,
buttons, colors, and navigation menu. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the
languages used for Front End development The structure, design, behavior, and
content of everything seen on browser screens when websites, web applications, or

2
 mobile apps are opened up, is implemented by front End developers.
Responsiveness and performance are two main objectives of the Front
End. The developer must ensure that the site is responsive i.e. it appears correctly on devices of all sizes no
part of the website should behave abnormally irrespective of the size of the screen. Some of frontend
development tools are HTML, CSS and Java Script

as a general-purpose programming language. PHP is now installed on more than 244

million Features of Back End
Backend is the server-side of the website. It stores and arranges data, and
also makes sure everything on the client-side of the website works fine. It is the part
of the website that you cannot see and interact with. It is the portion of software that
does not come in direct contact with the users. The parts and characteristics
developed by backend designers are indirectly accessed by users through a
frontend application. Activities, like writing APIs, creating libraries, and working with
system components without user interfaces or even systems of scientific
programming, are also included in the backend. Some of backend development
tools are PHP, Java, C++, Python and Mysql.. etc. Overview of Front End

Overview of Front End

PHP (Hypertext Pre-Processor)
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but
also used websites and 2.1 million web servers. Originally created by Rasmus
Lerdorf in 1995, the reference implementation of PHP is now produced by the PHP
Group. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it now stands for PHP:
Hypertext Pre-processor, a recursive acronym. PHP code is interpreted by a web
server with a PHP processor module which generates the resulting web page. PHP
commands can be embedded directly into an HTML source document rather than
calling an external file to process data. It has also evolved to include a command
line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications. PHP
is free software released under the PHP License, which is incompatible with the GNU
General Public License (GPL) due to restriction on the usage of the term PHP. PHP
can be deployed on most web servers and also as a standalone shell on almost
every operating system and platform, free of charge.

Features:
5
• PHP runs on various platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS, etc…)
• PHP is compatible with almost all servers used today (Apache, IIs etc…)

6
 • PHP supports a wide range of databases.
• PHP is free. Download it from the official PHP resources: www.php.net.
• PHP is easy to learn and runs efficiently on the server side.
HTML5

HTML5 is a mark-up language used for structure and presenting contents for
the World Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of
the HTML standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML 4 as of 1997). Its
core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia
while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by
computers and devices (web browser, parsers etc…) HTML5 is intended to
subsume not only HTML 4, but also XHTML1 and DOM level 2 HTML, HTML5 is
also cross-platform. It is designed to work whether you are using a PC, or a Tablet, a
Smartphone, or a TV.

Features:

• New features should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM and JavaScript

• The need for external plug-in (Like Flash) needs to be reduced.
• Error handling should be easier than in previous versions.
• Scripting has to be replaced by more mark-ups.
• Some of the most interesting new features in HTML5 are:
• The <canvas> elements for drawing.
• The <video> and <audio> elements for media playback
• Support for local storage
• New form controls, like calendar, date, time. Email, URL, search.

7
 CSS CASCADE STYLE SHEET

Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the look
and formatting of a document written in a mark-up language. While lost often used
to style web pages and interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can
be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG, and CSS is a
cornerstone specification of the web and almost all web pages use CSS style sheet
to describe their presentation.
CSS helps web developers to create a uniform look across several pages of a
website. Instead of defining the style of each table and each block of text within a
page’s HTML, commonly used style needs to be defined only once in a CSS
document. Once the style is defined in cascading style sheet, it can be used by any
page that references the CSS file. CSS makes it easy to change styles across
several pages at once.

JavaScript

JavaScript (JS) is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most

commonly used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side
scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously,
and alter the document content that is displayed. It is also being used in server-side
programming, game development and the creation of desktop and mobile
applications.

Features

• Giving the user more control over the browser

• Detecting the user’s browser, OS, screen size etc…
• Performing simple computations on the client side
• Validating the user’s input
• Handling dates and time
• Generating HTML code on-the fly without accessing the Web server.

 Overview of Back End

MYSQL

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system. It is

based on the Structured Query Language (SQL). Which is used for adding,
removing and modifying information in the database. Standard SQL commands,
such as ADD, DROP, INSERT and UPDATE can be used with MySQL. MySQL can
be used for a variety of applications, but is most commonly found on the webservers.
A website that uses MySQL may include web pages that access information from a
database.
These pages are often referred to as “dynamic” meaning the content of each page is
generated from a database as the page loads. Websites that use dynamic web
pages are often referred to as database driven web sites.
Many databases driven websites that use MySQL also use a web scripting
language like PHP to access information from the database. MySQL commands can
be incorporated into the PHP code, allowing part or all of a web page to be
generated from database information. Because both MySQL and PHP are both
open source (meaning they are free to download and use), the PHP/MySQL
combination has become a popular choice for database driven websites.
USES:

MySQL is popular for web application and acts as the database component of
the LAMP, BAMP, MAMP, and WAMP platforms (Linux/BSD/Mac/Windows- apache-
MySQL- PHP-/Perl/Python), and for open-source bug tracking tools like Bugzilla. Its
popularity for use with web applications is closely tied to the popularity of PHP and
Ruby on Rails, which are often combined with MySQL, PHP and MySQL are
essential components for running popular contents management systems such as
Drupal, e107, Word Press and some Bit Torrent trackers.

4.2 DATABASE DESIGN

Database design is the organization of data according to a database

model. The designer determines what data must be stored and how the data
elements interrelate. With this information, they can begin to fit the data to the
database model. The primary activity during data design is to select logical
representation of data object identified. A database file allows to organize data into
tables. A table is a subset of entire database. A database contains one or more
tables. The use of this database is used to specify the purpose of each name to have

13
 their own datatype and value to be presented for it.
4.1 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM:

The DFD takes an input-process-output view of a system i.e. data objects flow
into the software, are transformed by processing elements, and resultant data
objects flow out of the software. Data objects represented by labelled arrows and
transformation are represented by circles also called as bubbles. DFD is presented
in a hierarchical fashion i.e. the first data flow model represents the system as a
whole. Subsequent DFD refine the context diagram (level 0 DFD), providing
increasing details with each subsequent level. The DFD enables the software
engineer to develop models of the information domain & functional domain at the
same time. As the DFD is refined into greater levels of details, the analyst performs
an implicit functional decomposition of the system. At the same time, the DFD
refinement results in a corresponding refinement of the data as it moves through the
process that embodies the applications. A context-level DFD for the system the
primary external entities produce information for use by the system and consume
information generated by the system. The labelled arrow represents data objects or
object hierarchy.

 4.4 ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM

The Entity-Relationship (ER) model was originally proposed by Peter in 1976

as a way to unify the network and relational database views.
Simply stated the ER model is a conceptual data model that views the real world as
entities and relationships. A basic component of the model is the Entity Relationship
diagram which is used to visually represent data objects.
Since Chen wrote his paper the model has been extended and today it is commonly
used for database design for the database designer, the utility of the ER model is:

• It maps well to the relational model. The constructs used in the

ER model can easily be transformed into relational tables.

• It is simple and easy to understand with a minimum of training.

Therefore, the model can be used by the database designer to
communicate the design to the end user.

• In addition, the model can be used as a design plan by the

database developer to implement a data model in specific
database management software.

Connectivity and Cardinality:

The basic types of connectivity for relations are: one-to-one, one-to-many,

and many- to-many. A one-to-one (1:1) relationship is when at most one instance of
an Entity A is associated with one instance of entity B. For example, "employees in
the company are each assigned their own office. For each employee there exists a
unique office and for each office there exists a unique employee.
A one-to-many (1: N) relationships is when for one instance of entity A, there are
zero, one, or many instances of entity B, but for one instance of entity B, there is
only one instance of entity A. An example of a 1: N relationships are:

• A department has many employees

• Each employee is assigned to one department

16
 A many to many (M:N) relationship, sometimes called non-specific, is when
for one instance of entity A, there are zero, one, or may instances of entity B and for
one instance of entity B there are zero, one, or many instance of entity A.
The connectivity of a relationship describes the mapping of associated.

ER Notations

There is no standard for representing data objects in ER diagrams. Each modelling

methodology uses its own notation. The original notation used by Chen is widely
used in academics texts and journals but rarely seen in either CASE tools or
publications by non- academics. Today, there are a number of notations used,
among the more common are Bachman, crow's foot, and IDEFIX. All notational
styles represent entities as rectangular boxes and relationships as lines connecting
boxes. Each style uses a special set of symbols to represent the cardinality of a
connection.
The notation used in this document is from Martin. The symbols used for the basic
ER constructs are:

 Entities are represented by labelled rectangles. The label is the name of the
entity. Entity names should be singular nouns.
 Relationships are represented by a solid line connecting two entities. The
name of the relationship is written above the line. Relationship names should
be verbs Attributes, when included, are listed inside the entity rectangle.
 Attributes which are identifiers are underlined. Attribute names should be
singular nouns.
 Cardinality of many is represented by a line ending in a crow's foot. If the
crow's foot is omitted, the cardinality is one.
 Existence is represented by placing a circle or a perpendicular bar on the
line. Mandatory existence is shown by the bar (looks like a 1) next to the
entity for an instance is required. Optional existence is shown by placing a
circle next to the entity that is optional.

17
 4.1 TABLE STRUCTURE

Database Table

A database consists of one or more tables. Each table is made up of rows and
columns. If you think of a table as a grid, the column go from left to right across the
grid and each entry of data is listed down as a row.

18
Each row in a relational is uniquely identified by a primary key. This can be by one or
more sets of column values. In most scenarios it is a single column, such as
employee ID.
Every relational table has one primary key. Its purpose is to uniquely identify each
row in the database. No two rows can have the same primary key value. The
practical result of this is that you can select every single row by just knowing its
primary key.

 5.SYSTEM TESTING AND SECURITY

5.1 SOFTWARE TESTING:

The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to

discover every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to
check the functionality of components, sub-assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished
product it is the process of exercising software with the intent of ensuring that the
Software system meets its requirements and user expectations and does not fail in
an unacceptable manner. There are various types of tests. Each test type addresses
a specific testing requirement.

Types of testing:

1. Unit testing
2. White-box testing
3. Black-box testing
4. Validation testing
5. Backend testing

Unit Testing:

Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal program
logic is functioning properly, and that program input produces valid outputs. All
decision branches and internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of
individual software units of the application .it is done after the completion of an
individual unit before integration.
This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is
invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component level and test a specific
business process, application, and/or system configuration. Unit tests ensure that
each unique path of a business process performs accurately to the documented
specifications and contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.

23
 White-box Testing:

It is a test case design method that uses the control structure of the procedural
design to drive test cases. Using white box testing methods it was guaranteed that
most of the independent paths within modules had been exercised at least once, all
logical decision on their true and false sides, executed all loops at their boundaries
and exercised internal data structures to ensure their data validity.
White box testing has been done to achieve the following objectives. Logic errors and
incorrect assumptions are inversely proportional to the probability that a program
path will be executed. Errors tend to creep into the work when design and
implementation functions, condition or control that is out of the mainstream. We often
believe that logical path is not likely to be executed when the fact it may be executed
on regular basis. When program is translated into programming language source
code, it is likely that some typing errors will occur. Many will be uncovered by syntax
and type checking mechanism but others may go undetected until testing begins.

Black-box Testing:

Although tests are designed to uncover errors, they are also used to demonstrate
that the software functions are operational, input is properly accepted and output is
correctly produced and that the integrity of external information is maintained. A black
box test examines some of fundamental aspects of a system with little regard for the
internal logical structure of the software.
All input screens were thoroughly tested for data validity and smoothness of data
entry operations. Test cases were so formulated to verify whether the system works
properly in rare conditions also. Error conditions were checked. Data entry
operations are to be user friendly and smooth. It would be easier for the operators if
they can enter data through key board only. Using mouse and keyboard alternatively
will affect the speed of data entry. Care was taken to make data entry as smooth as
possible. Flow of object was made convenient to the data entry operations. Testing
also tested wrong input for data value.

24
 Validation Testing:

Validation testing can be defined as many, but a single definition is that validation
succeeds when the software functions in a manner that can be reasonable excepted
by the customer. After validation test have been conducted one of the two possible
conditions exists.
The function or performance characteristics are acceptable and confirmed to
specification. A decision from specification is uncovered and defining list is created.
System validation checks the quality of software in both simulated and live
environment. First the software goes through a phase in which errors and failures
based on simulated user requirements are verified and studied.

Back-end Testing:

Whenever an input or data is entered on front-end application, it stores in the

database and the testing of such database is known as Database Testing or
Backend testing. There are different databases like SQL Server, MySQL. Database
testing involves testing of table structure, schema, stored procedure, data structure
and so on.

Functional testing:

Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that functions tested are

available as specified by the business and technical requirements, system
documentation, and user manuals.

Functional testing is centered on the following items:

1. Valid Input: identified classes of valid input must be accepted.

2. Invalid Input: identified classes of invalid input must be rejected.
3. Functions: identified functions must be exercised.
4. Output: identified classes of application outputs must be exercise.

25
5.2 SECURITY

Software security is an idea implemented to protect software against malicious attack

and other hacker risks so that the software continues to function correctly under such
potential risks. Security is necessary to provide integrity, authentication and
availability.
Any compromise to integrity, authentication and availability makes a software
unsecure. Software systems can be attacked to steal information, monitor content,
introduce vulnerabilities and damage the behavior of software. Malware can cause
DoS (denial of service) or crash the system itself.
Buffer overflow, stack overflow, command injection and SQL injections are the most
common attacks on the software.
Buffer and stack overflow attacks overwrite the contents of the heap or stack
respectively by writing extra bytes.
Command injection can be achieved on the software code when system commands
are used predominantly. New system commands are appended to existing
commands by the malicious attack. Sometimes system command may stop services
and cause DoS.
SQL injections use malicious SQL code to retrieve or modify important information
from database servers. SQL injections can be used to bypass login credentials.
Sometimes SQL injections fetch important information from a database or delete all
important data from a database.
The only way to avoid such attacks is to practice good programming techniques.
System-level security can be provided using better firewalls. Using intrusion
detection and prevention can also aid in stopping attackers from easy access to the
system.

 6. SCOPE FOR FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

This software can be widely used in educational institutes etc. It is a web

Based application so user location doesn’t matter. Admin can access this software
anywhere anytime. This system also evaluates the candidate’s capability and skills
efficiently.

It is a fully automated system which results in fast results. In this system there is no
need of transporting paper through police/security vans to all colleges. This system
provides unbiased results. The usage of this system reduces human effort and saves
time and resources to an extent.

This project can be further extended to generate yes/no type questions and fill in the blanks
type questions. Further automatic answer copy checking systems can be added for checking
the answer sheets and providing the result to the student

7. CONCLUSION

The question selection difficulty has been formulated as a multi-constraint

optimization issue, which aims to produce question papers that meet several
constraints stated by the paper setter. Intelligent Question Paper Generator will
generate a well formatted question paper in a matter of a few seconds i.e. saving a
lot of time when compared to traditional systems.

With the use of this system for question paper generation there are no
chances of exam paper getting 5 leaked as paper is generated just before the test. It
will save a lot of time for teachers and thus will improve efficiency. The implemented
process strives to solve the problems listed above in a positive way. The
implemented work narrates an automated system that heads away from the
traditional process of paper generation to an automated process, by giving controlled
entry to the resources that is attained by involving users and their roles in the
colleges.

We have also considered the importance of randomization in the process of paper

generation. This system uses a logical algorithm which is absolutely randomized in
27
nature and it also avoids duplication of questions. And therefore, the resultant
automated system for Question Paper Generation will yield a growth in phrase of
random creation of question papers and also a secured platform
