Hijril Ismail, B. M. Soye · Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research · 2018
The rapid progress of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning has moved the paradigm from paper-pencil-based to computer-based testing system of examinations. Universities and tertiary institutions are registering and conducting electronic examination for their students through the electronic and other networking gadgets. With the introduction of e-exams, institutions still grapple with serious issues including poor integrity of the result due to examination questions passes through so many hands and impersonation in the examination hall. A desktop application has been developed by the integration of Java Programming language – JavaFX platform and JasperReports. The software runs on Java 1.8 and above and require a database server such as the MySQL Server. For the frontend styling, JavaFX Cascading Style Sheet was used. Security will be more effective since the system includes biometric fingerprint authentication, picture capture and data encryption and decryption, it will also reduce drastically the problems of human interference, impersonation, bribe-taking by lecturers, invigilators and supervisors, too much paper work, examination leakages and also reduce the number of invigilators needed for invigilation.
