WHAT IT IS

A freeware ASP application to create and mantain questionnaires. You can create questionnaires with the following constraints:

- Every questionnaire must have 20 or less questions

- Every question can have up to 8 possible answers, each one with its score

- User can choose only one of the possible answers for each question

- Every questionnaire can have up to four possible results, each ranging within a minimum score and a maximum score.

There is a non-password protected separate admin page to create and edit questionnaires. User accesses a questionnaire from another page. There is a basic cheating protection ensuring that once a questionnaire is started the user can't jump back to a previous question and answer again to it (not even with the browser's back button).

Uses ODBC, comes with Access DB but should work with MySQL as well simply by changing the connection string. However, MySQL support is untested.

INSTALLATION

- ezTests comes with an Access DB, "Tests.mdb". Copy it in a directory with write permissions. Then open inc_ezTests.asp and look for the definition of strConnString at the very beginning of the file. Adjust it with the right path of your Tests.mdb database, or replace it to use a MySQL db.

- Create a directory called "Tests" on your web space. Then copy all the asp code there.

- You're done! Point your browser to yourwebdomain/Tests to start creating surveys or to run a survey.

USAGE

Pointing your browser to yourwebdomain/Tests allows you creating surveys or running one. Basically you can use it as an admin page, then when you want to link a survey in one of your web pages, just link this page:

yourwebdomain/Tests/ezTestsShow.asp?TNO=&QNO=1

Where is the test you want to link to. Every time you create a test, a new test ID is generated. You can see what a test id is by listing all tests at the admin page.
