Abstract

The study focused on creating a requirements model of a software that can be used to circumvent academic dishonesties of students in computer-assisted assessments.  To elicit the software requirements, computer science and information technology teachers were identified as domain experts and were surveyed and interviewed regarding the observed misbehaviors of their students during computer-assisted tests. The data that resulted from these requirements elicitation processes were used as bases for the software model.  KAOS, a goal-oriented, model-based requirements methodology, was used to model the elicited requirements. The resultant data and the created software model were also used to formulate policies and procedures on the use of computers in assessing student academic performance as regards to preserving the integrity of the test.
