Random Test Generator PRO claims to be a very flexible and powerful tool for generating exams for any level of student. It supports an infinite number of questions and an infinite number of test banks. Each test bank can represent a topic or a class or any other number of things. It also has a multitude of question types. As a simple, usable tool, RTGP fulfills several of the requirements for the Test Tool project.

Despite the many good qualities of this program, it does seem primitive and does not feature quite the full list of features we require.

• Creates paper or screen-based exams
• Unlimited number of test banks and questions
• Authentication for teachers vs students
• Can create practice tests with explanations for questions
• Automatically grades exams
• Can use multimedia objects in the exams
• Text to Speech capability
• Can determine how many questions from each test bank to use for an exam

Bad Features:

• Price - 99.95 per seat
• Windows only
• UI seems a bit primitive

Missing Features:

• Open-source database format (uses MS Access)
• No programming-type questions
• Grading of short answer questions
• Ability to choose an average difficulty for an exam
• Manual creation of exams
