Deficiencies
The system currently is allowing the
students to have the opportunity
to take the test more times then
that which was predefined when
generating the test.
The system at this time does not alert
The user to the fact that when a
compile error occurs in the system
that it may be the simple fact that
he/she may have placed double quote
someone within the test bank that
not allowed.

The system does not allow you to re-enter information if you have already hit enter before
you have deleted and corrected the incorrect information. By simply going back if you
already hit entered. You can not go back to the previous line you have to go back to the
beginning by selecting that choice where you entered the information in incorrectly. Thus,
you are required to re-enter all the previous lines even if some of the lines previously were
entered in correctly.
The system does not alert the user that he / she must append class.cpp when asking for
the name of the class file.
The system does not alert the user that he/ she must append proc.cpp when ask for the
name of class procedure file.
The system will allow a user to enter the number of questions as being a letter when it
should only accept positive number and not characters , however, it will alert the user after
completing step 4 the it does there is an compile error in test 1 that has undeclared e.
However it should alert the user that he/ she must re-enter when he/she enters
unacceptable values at the time that it occurs. WORKING ON TEST# 1, 2 Questions, e
TRIES, Due on 6/31 at 1 PM, TESTID = test1, TestBankSize = 50, SourceFileName =
test1.cpp, tryLimit = 2
test1.cpp: In function `int main()':
test1.cpp:132: `e' undeclared (first use this function)
test1.cpp:132: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
function it appears in.)
. The user should be alerted not to let the banksize = the number of question or the system
will not work correctly. Thus one should enter the bank size as being larger than the
number of question be entered.
. The system should be more informative when it comes to presenting error deficiencies.
