VIRTUAL EXAM CONTROLLER

ABSTRACT:

The purpose of the system is to develop Virtual Exam Controller., used to test the Domain
knowledge of the students, and employees with respect to the particular technology. The manual
procedure used for conducting exam is time consuming process and error prone due to human
limitations. The System purpose is to completely automate the old manual procedure of
conducting exam to Online Web Based Examination System.
Virtual Exam controller is web based application for technical evaluation. Automatic Test
Generator is a program that automatically generates multiple-choice Computer Architecture tests
and handles the submission/marking of results. Login is required either by a student or a lecturer.
Each client has different functions available. Students have the ability to login, take a test, submit
the test, and view previous test results. Lecturers have the ability to login, generate random test
questions, store these in a database, send login passwords to students, and make tests available to
students, correct tests, and store results.The project has been planned to be having the view of
distributed architecture, with centralized storage of the database. The application for the storage
of the data has been planned. Using the constructs of MS-SQL Server and all the user interfaces
have been designed using the ASP.Net technologies. The database connectivity is planned using
the “SQL Connection” methodology. The standards of security and data protective mechanism
have been given a big choice for proper usage. The application takes care of different modules
and their associated reports, which are produced as per the applicable strategies and standards
that are put forwarded by the administrative staff.
Virtual Examination Management System.

The Examination Department Automation Software, a solution for the examination department,
has been designed to make the examination processes easier and paper free. It is designed under
the access authority level security to prevent misuse and mismanagement of legal and official
data by any unauthorized

Scope

1. Course Management – Management of different courses provided by the university and

the different subjects under each course.
2. College Details Management – Details of colleges under the university are maintained
to enable the officials know about the college under the university.
3. Student Information Management - Student Information Management in which the
detailed information of the student is stored fro future lookup and also for the different
processes inside the university management .
4. Examination Management – Details of the examinations conducted , future
examinations, student roll sheets, student mark sheets, college result sheets, and
necessary certificates to be issued to students The operations in examination management
are as follows
5. ScreenSharing:
Making all computer screens in the room show the same image, usually the instructor's
screen. Many management programs allow sharing of other screens as well, so if a
student has created something the instructor wants to show everyone, this can be
accomplished quickly. When screen sharing is disabled, all student computers return to
their previous screens.

reflect the current work status depending on organization/auditor or date. To build strong
password mechanism.

NEED FOR COMPUTERIZATION

We all know the importance of computerization. The world is moving ahead at lightening
speed and every one is running short of time. One always wants to get the information and
perform a task he/she/they desire(s) within a short period of time and too with amount of
efficiency and accuracy. The application areas for the computerization have been selected on the
basis of following factors:

· Minimizing the manual records kept at different locations.

· There will be more data integrity.

· Facilitating desired information display, very quickly, by retrieving information from

users.

· Facilitating various statistical information which helps in decision-making?

· To reduce manual efforts in activities that involved repetitive work.

· Updating and deletion of such a huge amount of data will become easier.

STUDY OF THE SYSTEM

GUI’S
In the flexibility of the uses the interface has been developed a graphics concept in mind,
associated through a browses interface. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as

1. Administrative user interface

2. The operational or generic user interface

The administrative user interface concentrates on the consistent information that is practically,
part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the data collection.
The interfaces help the administrations with all the transactional states like Data insertion, Data
deletion and Date updation along with the extensive data search capabilities.

The operational or generic user interface helps the users upon the system in transactions through
the existing data and required services. The operational user interface also helps the ordinary
users in managing their own information helps the ordinary users in managing their own
information in a customized manner as per the assisted flexibilities.

NUMBER OF MODULES

The system after careful analysis has been identified to be presented with the following modules:

The modules involved are:

 Administrator
 Student
 Reports
 Authentication

Administrator:-

The administrator is the organization user of this project. Any body except admin cannot
enter into this page. The admin can give Keyword to student to write the exam & gives privileges
that which exam they can access. The admin can create new Test Type and new tests and creates
new question and he assign no marks to each question, and he can modifies the test types, tests
and question already entered by himself. Admin can assign the tests to the students based on the
student request for the particular exam. Whenever he assign a test to student he can generate a
key to that exam and sends that key to the student. The administrator has all the information
about all the students & about all the Exams and Questions.

Students:-

This module contains all the information about the student. In this personal information
student can change his password and he can update his personal information if any modification
are there like address change he can do that modifications. Student can go inside the login and
select the test type that means which test he want to write and he can request the date of the exam
to write. Whenever the admin assign the test to student he send a key to student. Student enters
the key before start the exam on the particular date he requested and give the answers to the
question in that question paper. After completion of the exam they will get the complete
information about the question which they have written how many right and wrong are and how
many question he attempted etc.

Authentication:-

This module contains all the information about the authenticated user. User without his
username and password can’t enter into the login if he is only the authenticated user then he can
enter to his login and he can see the quotation and give the quotation for the particular products.

3.3. LANGUAGE SPECIFICATION

3.3.1 DOTNET TECHNOLOGY

Microsoft .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for rapidly building and
integrating XML Web services, Microsoft Windows-based applications, and Web solutions. The
.NET Framework is a language-neutral platform for writing programs that can easily and
securely interoperate. There’s no language barrier with .NET: there are numerous languages
available to the developer including Managed C++, C#, Visual Basic and Java Script. The .NET
framework provides the foundation for components to interact seamlessly, whether locally or
remotely on different platforms. It standardizes common data types and communications
protocols so that components created in different languages can easily interoperate

3.3.2 THE .NET FRAMEWORK

The .NET Framework is a new computing platform that simplifies application development in
the highly distributed environment of the internet

The .NET Framework has two main parts:

1. The Common Language Runtime (CLR).

2. A hierarchical set of class libraries.

3.3.2.1 Common language runtime

The CLR is described as the “execution engine” of .NET. It provides the environment within
which programs run. The most important features are:

 Conversion from a low-level assembler-style language, called Intermediate Language

(IL), into code native to the platform being executed on.
 Memory management, notably including garbage collection.
 Checking and enforcing security restrictions on the running code.
Loading and executing programs, with version control and other such features

The following features of the .NET framework are also worth description:

Managed Code - is code that targets .NET, and which contains certain extra
information - “metadata” - to describe itself. Whilst both managed and unmanaged code can run
in the runtime, only managed code contains the information that allows the CLR to guarantee,
for instance, safe execution and interoperability.
 Managed Data - With Managed Code comes Managed Data. CLR provides memory
allocation and Deal location facilities, and garbage collection. Some .NET languages use
Managed Data by default, such as C#, Visual Basic.NET and JScript.NET, whereas others,
namely C++, do not. Targeting CLR can, depending on the language you’re using, impose
certain constraints on the features available. As with managed and unmanaged code, one can
have both managed and unmanaged data in .NET applications - data that doesn’t get garbage
collected but instead is looked after by unmanaged code.

Common Type System - The CLR uses something called the Common Type System
(CTS) to strictly enforce type-safety. This ensures that all classes are compatible with each other,
by describing types in a common way. CTS define how types work within the runtime, which
enables types in one language to interoperate with types in another language, including cross-
language exception handling. As well as ensuring that types are only used in appropriate ways,
the runtime also ensures that code doesn’t attempt to access memory that hasn’t been allocated to
it.

Common Language Specification - The CLR provides built-in support for language
interoperability. To ensure that you can develop managed code that can be fully used by
developers using any programming language, a set of language features and rules for using them
called the Common Language Specification (CLS) has been defined. Components that follow
these rules and expose only CLS features are considered CLS-compliant.

3.3.2.2 Class library

.NET provides a single-rooted hierarchy of classes, containing over 7000 types.

The root of the namespace is called System; this contains basic types like Byte, Double, Boolean,
and String, as well as Object. All objects derive from System. Object. As well as objects, there
are value types. Value types can be allocated on the stack, which can provide useful flexibility.
There are also efficient means of converting value types to object types if and when necessary.

The set of classes is pretty comprehensive, providing collections, file, screen, and
network I/O, threading, and so on, as well as XML and database connectivity.
The class library is subdivided into a number of sets (or namespaces), each providing distinct
areas of functionality, with dependencies between the namespaces kept to a minimum

3.3.3 FEATURES OF ASP.NET

3.3.3.1 ASP.NET

ASP.NET is the .NET framework layer that handles Web requests for specific types of files,
namely those with (.aspx or .ascx) extensions. The ASP.NET engine provides a robust object
model for creating dynamic content and is loosely integrated into the .NET framework.

ASP.NET is part of the .NET framework. ASP.NET programs are centralized

applications hosted on one or more Web servers that respond dynamically to client requests. The
responses are dynamic because ASP.NET intercepts requests for pages with a specific extension
(.aspx or .ascx) and hands off the responsibility for answering those requests to just-in-time (JIT)
compiled code files that can build a response “on-the-fly.”

ASP.NET deals specifically with configuration (web.config and machine.config)

files, Web Services (ASMX) files, and Web Forms (ASPX) files. The server doesn’t “serve” any
of these file types—it returns the appropriate content type to the client. The configuration file
types contain initialization and settings for a specific application or portion of an application.
Another configuration file, called machine.web, contains machine-level initialization and
settings. The server ignores requests for web files, because serving them might constitute a
security breach.

Client requests for these file types cause the server to load, parse, and execute
code to return a dynamic response. For Web Forms, the response usually consists of HTML or
WML. Web Forms maintain state by round-tripping user interface and other persistent values
between the client and the server automatically for each request.

A request for a Web Form can use View State, Session State, or Application State
to maintain values between requests. Both Web Forms and Web Services requests can take
advantage of ASP. Net’s integrated security and data access through ADO.NET, and can run
code that uses system services to construct the response. So the major difference between a static
request and a dynamic request is that a typical Web request references a static file. The server
reads the file and responds with the contents of the requested file.

ASP.NET uses .NET languages. ASP.NET code exists in multithreaded JIT

compiled DLL assemblies, which can be loaded on demand. Once loaded, the ASP.NET DLLs
can service multiple requests from a single in-memory copy.

ASP.NET supports all the .NET languages (currently C#, C++, VB.NET, and
JScript, but there are well over 20 different languages in development for .NET), so you will
eventually be able to write Web applications in your choice of almost any modern programming
language.

In addition to huge increases in speed and power, ASP.NET provides substantial

development improvements, like seamless server-to-client debugging, automatic validation of
form data.
 Fig 3.3 Interoperability

3.3.3.2 ASP.NET EVENTS are cool

Every time an ASP.NET page is viewed, many tasks are being performed behind
the scenes. Tasks are performed at key points ("events") of the page's execution lifecycle.

The most common events are

OnInit

The first event in our list to be raised is OnInit. When this event is raised, all of
the page's server controls are initialized with their property values. Post Back values are not
applied to the controls at this time.

On Load

The next event to be raised is On Load, which is the most important event of them
all as all the pages server controls will have their Post Back values now.

Post Back Events

 Next all the Post Back events are raised. These events are only raised when the
page view is the result of a Post Back. The order that these events are raised can't be defined or
relied upon; the only consistency with the order that Post Back events are raised is that they are
all raised between the Unload and OnPreRender events.

OnPreRender

This event is raised just prior to the page or server control's html output being
written into the response stream that's sent to the client web browser. This is last chance you
have to make any modifications. By this point, all the server controls on the page have the final
data applied.

On Unload

This is the last event in our list to be raised and you should destroy any un-
managed objects and close any currently open database connection at this point. It is not possible
to modify any controls on the page at this point as the response stream has already been sent to
the client web browser.

As each event of the page is raised it also automatically tells all its child controls
to raise their own implementation of the same event.Then execution flow is passed back to the
main page class to continue onto the next event and the process is repeated for that event.

3.3.3.4 MAIN FEATURES OF ASP.NET

Successor of Active Server Pages (ASP), but completely different architecture

• Object-oriented

• Event-based

• Rich library of Web Controls

• Separation of layout (HTML) and logic (e.g. C#)

• Compiled languages instead of interpreted languages

• GUI can be composed interactively with Visual Studio .NET

 • Better state management

NAMESPACES

ASP.NET uses a concept called namespaces. Namespaces are hierarchical object

models that support various properties and methods. For example, HTML server controls reside
in "System.web.UI.HtmlControls" namespace, web server controls reside in
“System.web.UI.WebControls" namespace and ADO+ resides in "System. Data" namespace.

LANGUAGE INDEPENDENT

An ASP.NET page can be created in any language supported by .NET framework.

Currently .NET framework supports VB, C#, JScript and Managed C++.

ASP.NET SERVER CONTROLS

Using ASP.NET Server Controls, browser variation is handled because these

controls output the HTML themselves based on the browser requesting the page.

TYPES OF CONTROLS

ASP.NET has two basic types of controls: HTML server controls and Web server
controls.HTML Server Controls are generated around specific HTML elements and the
ASP.NET engine changes the attributes of the elements based on server-side code that you
provide.The ASP.NET engine takes the extra steps to decide based upon the container of the
requester, what HTML to output.
 Fig 3.3 Web Controls

3.3.4 DATA ACCESS WITH ADO.NET

ADO.NET provides a set of classes which a script can use to interact with
databases. Scripts can create instances of ADO.NET data classes and access their properties and
methods. A set of classes which work with a specific type of database is known as a .NET Data
Provider. ADO.NET comes with two Data Providers, the SQL Server.NET Data Provider
(which provides optimised access for Microsoft SQL Server databases) and the OLEDB.NET
Data Provider, which works with a range of databases. The main ADO.NET OLEDB data access
classes are OLEDBConnection,OLEDBCommand,OLEDBDataReader and OLEDBDataAdapter.

ADO.NET offers several advantages over previos versions of ADO

 Interoperablity
 Maintainablity
 Programmability
 Performance Scalability
3.3.4.1 VISUAL STUDIO .NET

Visual studio.NET is a complete set of development tools for building ASP web applications
XML web applications ,XML web services desktop applications and mobile applications in
addition to building high performing desktop applications ,you can use visual studio’s powerful
component-based development tools and other technologies to simplify term-based design,
development and deployment of enterprise solutions. Visual basic .NET, Visual C++.NET and
visual C#,NET all use the same integrated development environment (IDE) which allows them to
share tools and facilitates in the creation of mixed language solutions .

3.4 SQL SERVER 2005

FERTURES OF SQL SERVER 2005

The OLAP Services feature available in SQL Server version 7.0 is now called
SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services. The term OLAP Services has been replaced with the term
Analysis Services. Analysis Services also includes a new data mining component. The
Repository component available in SQL Server version 7.0 is now called Microsoft SQL Server
2000 Meta Data Services.

SQL-SERVER database consist of six type of objects,

They are,

1. TABLE

2. QUERY

3. FORM

4. REPORT

5. MACRO

3.4.1.1 TABLE:

A database is a collection of data about a specific topic.

VIEWS OF TABLE:

We can work with a table in two types,

1. Design View

2. Datasheet View

Design View

To build or modify the structure of a table we work in the table design

view. We can specify what kind of data will be hold.

Datasheet View

To add, edit or analyses the data itself we work in tables datasheet view
mode.

3.4.1.2 QUERY:

A query is a question that has to be asked the data. Access gathers data
that answers the question from one or more table. The data that make up the answer is either
dynaset (if you edit it) or a snapshot(it cannot be edited).Each time we run query, we get latest
information in the dynaset.Access either displays the dynaset or snapshot for us to view or
perform an action on it ,such as deleting or updating.

3.4.1.3 FORMS:

A form is used to view and edit information in the database record by

record .A form displays only the information we want to see in the way we want to see it. Forms

use the familiar controls such as textboxes and checkboxes. This makes viewing
and entering data easy.

Views of Form:

We can work with forms in several primarily there are two views,
 They are,

1. Design View

2. Form View

Design View

To build or modify the structure of a form, we work in forms design view. We

can add control to the form that are bound to fields in a table or query, includes textboxes, option
buttons, graphs and pictures.

Form View

The form view which display the whole design of the form.

3.4.1.4 REPORT:

A report is used to vies and print information from the database. The report can
ground records into many levels and compute totals and average by checking values from many
records at once. Also the report is attractive and distinctive because we have control over the size
and appearance of it.

3.4.1.5 MACRO:

A macro is a set of actions. Each action in macros does something. Such as

opening a form or printing a report .We write macros to automate the common tasks the work
easy and save the time.

3.4.1.6 MODULE:

Modules are units of code written in access basic language. We can write and
use module to automate and customize the database in very sophisticated ways.

2. SYSTEM STUDY

2.1 FEASIBILITY STUDY

The feasibility of the project is analyzed in this phase and business proposal is put

forth with a very general plan for the project and some cost estimates. During system analysis

the feasibility study of the proposed system is to be carried out. This is to ensure that the

proposed system is not a burden to the company. For feasibility analysis, some

understanding of the major requirements for the system is essential.

Three key considerations involved in the feasibility analysis are

 ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

 SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

This study is carried out to check the economic impact that the system will have on the

organization. The amount of fund that the company can pour into the research and development

of the system is limited. The expenditures must be justified. Thus the developed system as well

within the budget and this was achieved because most of the technologies used are freely

available. Only the customized products had to be purchased.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
 This study is carried out to check the technical feasibility, that is, the technical

requirements of the system. Any system developed must not have a high demand on the available

technical resources. This will lead to high demands on the available technical resources. This

will lead to high demands being placed on the client. The developed system must have a modest

requirement, as only minimal or null changes are required for implementing this system.

SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

The aspect of study is to check the level of acceptance of the system by the user. This

includes the process of training the user to use the system efficiently. The user must not feel

threatened by the system, instead must accept it as a necessity. The level of acceptance by the

users solely depends on the methods that are employed to educate the user about the system and

to make him familiar with it. His level of confidence must be raised so that he is also able to

make some constructive criticism, which is welcomed, as he is the final user of the system.
 SYSTEM TESTING

TESTING METHODOLOGIES

The following are the Testing Methodologies:

o Unit Testing.
o Integration Testing.
o User Acceptance Testing.
o Output Testing.
o Validation Testing.

Unit Testing

Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of Software design that is the
module. Unit testing exercises specific paths in a module’s control structure to

ensure complete coverage and maximum error detection. This test focuses on each module
individually, ensuring that it functions properly as a unit. Hence, the naming is Unit Testing.

During this testing, each module is tested individually and the module interfaces are
verified for the consistency with design specification. All important processing path are tested
for the expected results. All error handling paths are also tested.

Integration Testing

Integration testing addresses the issues associated with the dual problems of verification
and program construction. After the software has been integrated a set of high order tests are
conducted. The main objective in this testing process is to take unit tested modules and builds a
program structure that has been dictated by design.
The following are the types of Integration Testing:

1. Top Down Integration

This method is an incremental approach to the construction of program structure.

Modules are integrated by moving downward through the control hierarchy, beginning with the
main program module. The module subordinates to the main program module are incorporated
into the structure in either a depth first or breadth first manner.
In this method, the software is tested from main module and individual stubs are replaced
when the test proceeds downwards.

2. Bottom-up Integration

This method begins the construction and testing with the modules at the lowest level in
the program structure. Since the modules are integrated from the bottom up, processing required
for modules subordinate to a given level is always available and the need for stubs is eliminated.
The bottom up integration strategy may be implemented with the following steps:

 The low-level modules are combined into clusters into clusters that
perform a specific Software sub-function.
 A driver (i.e.) the control program for testing is written to coordinate test case
input and output.
 The cluster is tested.
 Drivers are removed and clusters are combined moving upward in the
program structure
The bottom up approaches tests each module individually and then each module is module is
integrated with a main module and tested for functionality.

7.1.3 User Acceptance Testing

User Acceptance of a system is the key factor for the success of any system. The system
under consideration is tested for user acceptance by constantly keeping in touch with the
prospective system users at the time of developing and making changes wherever required. The
system developed provides a friendly user interface that can easily be understood even by a
person who is new to the system.

7.1.4 Output Testing

After performing the validation testing, the next step is output testing of the proposed
system, since no system could be useful if it does not produce the required output in the specified
format. Asking the users about the format required by them tests the outputs generated or
displayed by the system under consideration. Hence the output format is considered in 2 ways –
one is on screen and another in printed format.

7.1.5 Validation Checking

Validation checks are performed on the following fields.

Text Field:

The text field can contain only the number of characters lesser than or equal to its size.
The text fields are alphanumeric in some tables and alphabetic in other tables. Incorrect entry
always flashes and error message.

Numeric Field:

The numeric field can contain only numbers from 0 to 9. An entry of any character
flashes an error messages. The individual modules are checked for accuracy and what it has to
perform. Each module is subjected to test run along with sample data. The individually tested
modules are integrated into a single system. Testing involves executing the real data
information is used in the program the existence of any program defect is inferred from the
output. The testing should be planned so that all the requirements are individually tested.

A successful test is one that gives out the defects for the inappropriate data and produces
and output revealing the errors in the system.

Preparation of Test Data

Taking various kinds of test data does the above testing. Preparation of test data plays a
vital role in the system testing. After preparing the test data the system under study is tested
using that test data. While testing the system by using test data errors are again uncovered and
corrected by using above testing steps and corrections are also noted for future use.
Using Live Test Data:

Live test data are those that are actually extracted from organization files. After a system
is partially constructed, programmers or analysts often ask users to key in a set of data from their
normal activities. Then, the systems person uses this data as a way to partially test the system. In
other instances, programmers or analysts extract a set of live data from the files and have them
entered themselves.

It is difficult to obtain live data in sufficient amounts to conduct extensive testing. And,
although it is realistic data that will show how the system will perform for the typical processing
requirement, assuming that the live data entered are in fact typical, such data generally will not
test all combinations or formats that can enter the system. This bias toward typical values then
does not provide a true systems test and in fact ignores the cases most likely to cause system
failure.

Using Artificial Test Data:

Artificial test data are created solely for test purposes, since they can be generated to test
all combinations of formats and values. In other words, the artificial data, which can quickly be
prepared by a data generating utility program in the information systems department, make
possible the testing of all login and control paths through the program.
 The most effective test programs use artificial test data generated by persons other than
those who wrote the programs. Often, an independent team of testers formulates a testing plan,
using the systems specifications.

The package “Virtual Private Network” has satisfied all the requirements specified as per
software requirement specification and was accepted.

7.2 USER TRAINING

Whenever a new system is developed, user training is required to educate them about the
working of the system so that it can be put to efficient use by those for whom the system has
been primarily designed. For this purpose the normal working of the project was demonstrated to
the prospective users. Its working is easily understandable and since the expected users are
people who have good knowledge of computers, the use of this system is very easy.

7.3 MAINTAINENCE

This covers a wide range of activities including correcting code and design errors. To
reduce the need for maintenance in the long run, we have more accurately defined the user’s
requirements during the process of system development. Depending on the requirements, this
system has been developed to satisfy the needs to the largest possible extent. With development
in technology, it may be possible to add many more features based on the requirements in future.
The coding and designing is simple and easy to understand which will make maintenance easier.

TESTING STRATEGY :

A strategy for system testing integrates system test cases and design techniques into a
well planned series of steps that results in the successful construction of software. The testing
strategy must co-operate test planning, test case design, test execution, and the resultant data
collection and evaluation .A strategy for software testing must accommodate low-level tests
that are necessary to verify that a small source code segment has been correctly implemented
as well as high level tests that validate major system functions against user requirements.

Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the
ultimate review of specification design and coding. Testing represents an interesting anomaly for
the software. Thus, a series of testing are performed for the proposed system before the
system is ready for user acceptance testing.

SYSTEM TESTING:

Software once validated must be combined with other system elements (e.g. Hardware,
people, database). System testing verifies that all the elements are proper and that overall system
function performance is

achieved. It also tests to find discrepancies between the system and its original objective, current
specifications and system documentation.

UNIT TESTING:

In unit testing different are modules are tested against the specifications produced during
the design for the modules. Unit testing is essential for verification of the code produced during
the coding phase, and hence the goals to test the internal logic of the modules. Using the
detailed design description as a guide, important Conrail paths are tested to uncover errors
within the boundary of the modules. This testing is carried out during the programming stage
itself. In this type of testing step, each module was found to be working satisfactorily as regards
to the expected output from the module. In Due Course, latest technology advancements will
be taken into consideration. As part of technical build-up many components of the networking
system will be generic in nature so that future projects can either use or interact with this. The
future holds a lot to offer to the development and refinement of this project.

Conclusion:-
 Any system, which has been in use for a number of years, gradually, decays and become less
effective because of the change in environment to which one has to adapt. For a time it is
possible to overcome problems by amendments and minor modification to acknowledge the need
of fundamental changes. Computerization was proposed as a solution to the problem of being
outdated with the fast present technologies. In this project, our aim was to provide online
registration.
