TCExam is a software solution (CBA - Computer-Based Assessment) to drastically simplify the evaluation process for schools, universities, recruiting firms as well as private and public companies, allowing professors, teachers and examiners to create, distribute and manage exams, tests, surveys and quizzes.
Compared to the traditional Pen-and-Paper Testing (PPT), TCExam simplifies the whole process of evaluation reducing costs and improving quality and reliability of the examinations.
TCExam comes in a variety of languages and is already used all over the world by top universities, schools, private and public institutions, independent educators and research centers.
-

-
Free Open Source Software (FOSS): TCExam software is distributed with GNU-AGPLv3 license. Open Source promotes Software reliability and quality by supporting independent peer review and rapid evolution of the source code.
-
Web-based Architecture: TCExam is Web-based and developed with LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) technology. User-friendly interface allows you to install and use TCExam by simply connecting one cable to the switch of your computer network. All the computers on the network will be able to use TCExam independently from the client’s operating system as a normal intranet website, with no need to install any additional software or plug-in.
-
Internationalization (I18N): TCExam is language-independent through the adoption of the UTF-8, Unicode and TMX standards. It supports the Right-To-Left mode and currently includes translations in 25 different languages.
-
Accessibility and Usability: TCExam Web interface conforms to the XHTML 1.0 Strict standard, the guidelines on Accessibility (W3C-WAI-WCAG 1.0) and Usability, to provide equal access and equal opportunity to people with disabilities, including blindness.
-
Results and Statistics: TCExam outputs a variety of result pages, enabling various selection filters and providing numerous statistical indexes. Results and statistics can then be exported into various formats for filing or reworking. The test-takers can immediately be informed of the result of their test, or have it delivered via email.
-
Data Import and Export: TCExam uses Open Standard protocols for data filing and interchange: TSV, XML and PDF. Everything is fully documented to be easily extended or used by external applications. Custom filters can be added to import data from other systems. Include Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) system to import users' answers from paper sheets. TCExam supports several types of remote authentication and single-sign-on protocols: LDAP, RADIUS, CAS.
-

-
Unique Tests: TCExam can simultaneously generate unique tests for different users by randomly selecting and sorting questions and alternative answers. This feature drastically reduces or eliminates the chances of cheating on the test.
-
Paper Testing with Optical Character Recognition (OMR): TCExam can generate printable PDF documents for pen-and-paper testing. The OMR answer sheet can be scanned and uploaded to TCExam for automatic test importing, scoring and reporting.
-
Security: TCExam is more secure than traditional Pen-and-Paper testing. It supports SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption and includes various authentication levels to discriminate the access to the various sections (user/password, access level, group, IP address). Test time, test activity, results, and statistics: every part of the test is managed and stored in the server, leaving no sensitive data in the users’ client computers.
