Creating a test
When creating a test the manager must provide a unique name for the test.
Optional fields includes the name of the project the test belongs to, and different notes that might be specific for the test.
A manager can decide to upload a test instead of creating it manually. This can be done by using the Upload Test button, selecting a test using a designated JSON file. (When exporting a test, the JSON file will be created automatically).
In addition to importing a whole test, the manager can choose to import blocks from existing tests and use them as part of his new test.
The manager can add as many blocks as he'd like by simple using the Create new block button.
Each block can contains up to 10 different tags to help the manager provide information about the block's content.
After creating a block the manager can move on the creating as many questions as he'd like using the Create new question button.
The question creation screen provides the manager the ability to choose the type of question he'd like to present, along with selecting the place on the screen for the question's text.
Using the designated checkbox the manager can choose to enable or disable the timer distractions. When enabling the distraction the manager must also insert the countdown time limit and use the Submit button to successfully set the distraction's configuration.
Along with the mandatory position selection for the question's text, the manager must choose a configuration for the answers position on the screen from the following options:
-
Horizontal - all the answers will appear in a horizontal line.
-
Vertical - all the answers will appear in a vertical line.
-
Matrix - the answers will appear as a matrix of size 2x2 or 3x3.
In addition to adding the question's answers the test manager is able to select a single answer that will be marked as the "right answer", which will later be used when reviewing the test results, allowing to see if the subject chose the "right answer".
Rating question lets the test manager to choose up to 15 possible answer options to present to the subject.
For example - if the manager chose 5 as the maximal bound for the answers then the subject will be presented with the answers options 1,2,3,4,5.
This type of question allows the manager to define a question that will accept free text from the subject.
The manager might also define a "correct answer" which will later be used when reviewing the test results and seeing if the subject chose the "correct answer".
In order to efficiently use the drill down question, the test manager can define any number of main answers. for each main answer it's possible to add a secondary question that'll contains it's own new question text and list of answers.
When composing the lists of blocks and questions, the manager should take into account the following important features:
-
The order of execution between blocks is determined according to the order presented in the blocks list.
-
The order of execution of each question inside a block is randomized, in order to provide maximum in-dependency between different subjects.
