Development of AHMES (Automatical Higher Mathematics Examination System) Using Rational Unified Process

Abstract

This study was aimed at developing an automatic exam system as an intelligent and high-quality higher math examination solution for Department of Computer Engineering at Pai Chai University (PCU) based on S/W Engineering. As a research and development (R&D) project, the study used the rational unified process (RUP) method for software development. RUP describes how to effectively use commercial and reliable methods to develop and deploy software system. It is a heavyweight process; therefore, it is particularly suitable for large teams to develop large projects. This paper describes the RUP process of this R&D project what we named it as Automatic Higher Mathematically Exam System (AHMES). AHMES provides a new way to automatically generate exam questions. In the study, our team and the requesting department collected the requirements and selected methods and tools. Then, our team designed and implemented the framework of the system, completed the development of some main functions, tested and summarized the system, and planned the future work.
