The website provides environment for students to test knowledge and skills. It also helps managers as a channel for contacting students in easy way. Another aim was to build a big and plentiful data source of multiple choice questions by contributing from manager users of system. Finally, the process of building a website was pointed out. To accomplish, software development process was applied to build a website. The first step, system requirements specification was done. There were many requirements they consisted of functional and non-functional requirements listed. The second, database was analyzed and designed. The website used MySQL – an open source relation database management system – to manage database. The works of collecting data have been started when database was created. The third, website was designed layout and implemented. The CakePHP framework was used as platform for developing. The fourth, from the first version to existing version were tested and tried by my classmates they helped me point out system logic errors and graphical user interface errors. The works of upgrading and errors correcting were consecutively done. The website could be applied in fact from existing version but it still has been upgrading and developing with more function. The results of this study were a powerful website with many functions and friendly user interface. The database was also contributed more than 200 multiple choice questions. Besides, finishing this project gave me more experiences and skills for website development as well as system development. I also enriched my knowledge and tried solve problems in fact. vi Tables of Contents List of Figure. v List of Table vii ABRREVATIONS viii Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Motivation 1 1.2 Contribution and Thesis Overview 1 Chapter 2 RELATED WORK 3 2.1 Basic Knowledge 3 2.2 Related Work 4 Chapter 3 SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN 8 3.1.
