System requirements
Software
Server and admin client require Windows XP / Vista / Server (2003, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019) / 7 / 8 / 10. Server running on Linux or OS X requires a virtual machine. For users to work, they need a network connection to the server and one of the following browsers: Google Chrome 6+, Mozilla Firefox 9+, Opera 12+, Internet Explorer 8+, Safari 5+. Recommended Google Chrome ( download).Hardware
A running INDIGO server consumes up to 150 MB of RAM (up to 250 MB of RAM with the Admin Client). When users work, memory consumption increases (at maximum loads up to 2 GB of RAM).Recommended minimum configuration for Windows Server 2016:
‒ for 10-50 concurrent users: 2x2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB HDD;
‒ for 100-200 concurrent users: 2x2.2 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 20 GB HDD/SSD;
‒ for 500-1000 concurrent users: 2x3.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD or more.
Safety
We guarantee that all executable files of our software are free from viruses. If you are faced with the fact that some antivirus blocks the work of INDIGO testing system programs, please let us know about it. We will help you solve the problem and make a request to the developers of this antivirus about a false positive, so that during the next update of the databases, the antivirus will no longer interfere with the testing system.
The INDIGO testing system, based on an official agreement with Kaspersky Lab, is included in the white list (Kaspersky Whitelist), according to which all INDIGO programs and components are automatically recognized as safe.
INDIGO is a powerful, modern electronic complex designed to automate the testing procedure and monitor results.
Simply put, INDIGO helps you create tests and test cases. Usually the word test is associated with a school or university. For the most part, free, specialized software for developing testing systems is focused on controlling knowledge in the field of education. But not the free INDIGO tool for creating tests.
There are other areas here, such as recruiting assessment (analysis of the professional level of applicants), personnel qualification control, the sociological sphere (survey of various sectors of society), as well as a certain kind of psychological research. In the downloaded program, automation is a fundamental factor in the successful development of a line of similar applications.
It should be convenient for the creator of test tasks to develop and adapt them, in turn, for the administrator, the main thing is to have clear and rational management, and for the test taker, only comfort is important in order to focus solely on knowledge.
After downloading and installing INDIGO, you will understand that it is built on the principle of client-server solutions. Thus, there is a server part in which databases with users and tests are located (with a rigidly built hierarchy and distributed access rights). The client part is aimed at the user (registration in the system, performing tasks, viewing results). Meanwhile, the web server downloaded and installed along with the utility does not require particularly deep knowledge at the system administrator level.
The principle of working with each test project in the program goes through four stages. The first step is to prepare the questionnaire using the Constructor. It is possible to develop a project with its help flexibly and conveniently. The question form can contain slides, pictures and any external elements, and the answers can imply both one option and multiple options.
The second step of development is the combination of test sets according to certain criteria, for example, by age group of test takers, by departments, by disciplines, and so on. The third step is to set the rating variability and determine the access rights for different categories of users.
The final step is to sum up the results through reporting, which can be printed or left in digital form. As a result, using the multifaceted, but easy and transparent interface of the downloaded INDIGO utility, you can develop and organize tests of any complexity for free, in areas that, one way or another, require knowledge control.
The INDIGO testing system is a professional tool for automating the testing process and processing results, which is designed to solve a wide range of tasks:
testing and control of students' knowledge;
determination of the professional level of employees;
conducting psychological testing;
conducting surveys;
organization of olympiads and competitions.

1.2.4 "Airen"
Airen is a free program that allows you to create tests to test knowledge and conduct tests on a local network, via the Internet or on single computers.
Tests can include tasks of various types: with the choice of one or more correct answers, with the input of an answer from the keyboard, for establishing correspondence, for ordering and for classification.
With online testing, the teacher sees detailed information about the progress of each student on his computer. At the end of the work, these data are stored in the archive, where they can later be viewed and analyzed using the tools built into the program.
In addition, you can create tests as standalone executable files that can be distributed to students for testing without using the network and without saving the results. This mode is focused primarily on tests designed for self-testing. To start testing, a student just needs to run the received file on any computer with Windows, installation of any programs is not required for this.
1.2.5 Interactive Knowledge Testing System "sInTeZ"
"SinTeZ" is a system designed for creating and editing tests, conducting tests and analyzing results.

create reports;
display statistics on the test, which helps to find out:
From the experience of a computer science teacher
Introduction
Conducting knowledge control is an integral part of the educational process. Unfortunately, this is not always convenient. Checking a large number of notebooks, wear of handouts and a significant amount of working time for checking work make the control process an aggravating duty for the teacher. I decided to take a different path and found the best, in my opinion, way to simplify this procedure. In my work, I use the software package " Indigo».
Indigo testing system
This software product was created by Russian developers and is provided in a shareware form. For schools, it is possible to obtain a free license for 20 concurrent users. In the implementation of control in computer science lessons, where work is carried out in groups or for individual tasks for students in any subject, this amount will be enough. The program requires installation on a server computer and provides access to the system through an Internet browser.
In my work, I use this testing system to conduct tests, tests and individual tasks for students. All tests are created in a convenient editor and do not require special skills. The interface of the test creation program is similar to a regular text editor such as Word.
A particularly useful feature was access to the testing system from the Internet. That is, access to our server can be obtained from anywhere in the world. I use this opportunity to provide access to students who were absent from tests or for those who wish to correct their grade to a higher one. Unfortunately, this access option is available only after specialized configuration.
Fig.1 Test editor in the Indigo system.
System capabilities for organizing control
The possibilities of this testing system are very wide. A test created in this system can contain a large number of answer options for a task. I propose to analyze the possibilities using the example of a test for the 9th grade “Coding of graphic information”.
Test settings include setting the time for work, mixing answer options, setting up the display of errors and correct answers at the end of the test. You can also customize the instructions for the test. In the instructions, I prescribe the requirements for the performance of the work and the rules for passing the test. The next step in creating a quiz is setting up grades. The testing system has the ability to automatically evaluate the work and demonstrate the mark upon completion. The percentage of completion and the corresponding mark are configured.
When creating questions, there are several options for choosing an answer:
1. Select one option from the list.
2. Select multiple options from the list.
3. Entering an answer from the keyboard (Text or numeric).
4. Matching setting.
5. Placement in the correct order.
The question text itself can contain any information. Text, video, image, file, sound. The text itself is formatted using tools similar to the Word word processor.
Rice. 2. Test editor window.
Thus, the possibilities for creating various forms of control are very extensive. Due to the ability to insert various types of information into a question, we get the opportunity to create interesting tasks. Thanks to several types of answers, we can create not just a test, but a full-fledged detailed answer. I create in the Indigo system not only control work, but also small verification, tests, individual tasks.
It is possible to create printed versions of tests in two clicks. You get a regular .rtf document with which you can work with any text editor. Reports on the results of control can also be conveniently printed or saved in a test format.
Also, students have the opportunity at school or at home to see their results for all work performed simply by going to their personal account.
Conclusion
Currently, I have created 63 control tasks. Using this system, I save a huge amount of time on checking work. Students do not have to wait for the results, they see their mark upon completion of the work. It is important that not a small amount of paper is saved, which would have gone to print the CMM. I would like to recommend this testing system to everyone as an excellent tool for saving time and simplifying work with the control of students' knowledge.

Key Features of SunRavTestOfficePro
Creation of tests. Work with test tasks Variety of types of questions. The program allows using 5 types of questions in tests: Single choice. One answer out of several options. Multiple choice. One or more answers from several options. Open question. The user must enter the answer from the keyboard. The quiz creator can use a powerful templating language to correctly evaluate the user's response. Correspondence. The user needs to arrange the statements in the two lists so that they correspond to each other. An ordered list. Arrange the answers in the list in a certain order.
Slide 8
adaptive tests. The order of the questions can be not only linear, but also depend on the user's answers. Using themes. The program can break the test into several topics. Knowledge can be assessed both for each topic separately and for the test as a whole. Comments on the question. Each question can be accompanied by a comment with testing instructions, a hint, information about the correct answer, etc. Options for reactions to the user's answer: No reaction - the user is asked to answer the next question. A message that the user answered correctly or incorrectly. Show any document related to the question. In it, in particular, you can explain in detail the reason for the wrong answer and provide additional material that will allow you to study the issue in more depth. The weight of the question and answer options. Each question and answer can have its own "weight". This allows the user to be awarded more points for correct answers to difficult questions and less points for answers to easy questions. Visualization. The program allows you to insert images, formulas, charts, tables, audio and video files, HTML documents and any OLE documents. The built-in text editor in tMaker for writing tests by function resembles MS Word familiar to many.
Slide 9
Ensuring the objectivity of testing Setting up the testing process. The administrator can: Prohibit leaving the program until the end of testing. Disable desktop and taskbar access. Close the program after passing one test. Random questions. Questions in the test can be mixed. In addition, the quiz creator can determine how many questions from each topic the user will receive. Let's say the topic consists of 300 questions. If only 30 questions are randomly selected, test takers will receive completely different sets of questions from the same test. The answer options for each question can also be mixed. Thus, with a sufficiently large number of questions, the test-taker cannot thoughtlessly use the preliminary knowledge of the test, with a predetermined sequence of questions and answers. Note: The described function is set by selecting "Examination mode" in the settings. Introduction of time frames. Testing can be limited in time - both for the test and for each question. The amount of time allocated for each question may vary.
Slide 10
Setting the information visible during testing. In the program, you can determine whether to show the user: The number of correct answers. Time until the end of testing. Limit on the number of testing attempts. In the program, you can set the maximum number of passing one test. Tracking testing attempts in the tAdmin program. Safety. All tests and test results are encrypted, which completely eliminates the possibility of their forgery. You can set passwords for the test: for editing (tMaker) - protects against unauthorized changes, premature clarification of the structure, correct answers, etc.; for viewing (tTester) – prevents trial testing.

MyTestXPro
MyTest - Computer knowledge testing MyTestX. The program is easy and convenient to use. All teachers and students learn it quickly and easily. To create and edit tests, the program has a convenient test editor. Using the editor, you can either create a new test or edit an existing one. Also in the editor, the testing process is configured: the order of tasks and options, time limits, evaluation, and much more. When you first start the program, you will see the following window:
slide 13
Slide 14
The left part of the workspace of the main window is occupied by the list of groups and tasks. In the main part, the parameters of the test, groups, tasks are configured and edited. Each MyTestXPro job is in one group or another. In order to add a new task, you must either select the group to which the task will be added, or select another task in this group. When you create a new test, it already has one group. To add a task to it, you need to select it by clicking on it. When you select a group in the list on the left, the workspace of the test editor displays its parameters (name, description, limit on the number of tasks to create a selection, etc.). For convenience, each group can be assigned one of ten colors for its icon.
slide 15
slide 16
You can change group settings at any time. You can, for example, immediately set its name and description, you can do it later. To add tasks to a group, select Tasks → Add... and select what type of task you want to create. The item type can be changed later without losing information as much as possible (for example, you can safely convert a single choice item to a multiple choice item without losing the question text and answer options).
Slide 17
Slide 18
Most task types allow you to see them in the editor in much the same way as they will be seen by the test-taker in the testing module. When creating or selecting a task for editing, there are five tabs in the main part of the working area of the program window. The first one contains basic information about the task: the question, the number of points, the time limit, an additional picture, answer options or criteria for checking answers (depending on the type of task). The Wording tab allows tasks to specify up to five different question wordings. Which one will be selected is specified in the test parameters. The Training tab sets the feedback in the training mode and some of its parameters. The Advanced tab allows you to attach an audio file to the task and configure additional options.
Slide 19
Slide 20
The Draft tab can be used by you to temporarily store parts of a question or answer options. Its content is the same for all tasks and is not saved to a file. At the bottom of the workspace, when creating/editing tasks, there are two buttons - Save and Reset. The Save button becomes active if you make any changes to the task and allows you to save these changes. The Reset button cancels all changes in the task and displays it again as it was last saved. Sometimes you need to perform some actions on several groups or several tasks at once. To do this, groups and tasks must first be selected. You can select in various ways: click the highlight button (at the bottom of the list) to highlight the current task, select tasks or groups with the Ctrl or Shift key pressed, use the context menu that opens by right-clicking on the list... Selected groups and tasks are different from the rest a blue check mark in front of the group or task icon.
slide 21
slide 22
To perform some actions on the selected ones, use the Selected submenu either in the Groups menu, or in the Assignments menu, or in the context menu... For example, you can set several tasks at once with the same number of points for the correct answer or a time limit.. Groups and tasks can be moved either using the buttons at the bottom of the list or by dragging them with the mouse. Moreover, if one group is dragged onto the icon of another group onto the icon of the group while holding the Alt key, then all the tasks of this group will be moved to this group; if one of the selected tasks is moved to the group icon while holding the Alt key, then all selected tasks will also be moved to this group.
slide 23
slide 24
Slide 25
When you enter or edit a question, answer options, wording, hint, introduction and explanation of an assignment error, description and help for the group, description and comments on the test, a formatting panel becomes available. With it, you can quickly format text - make it bold, italic, italic..., change color, alignment, insert a picture, symbol or table, etc. The same actions can be done using the Format menu or the context menu of these fields. But more features may be needed. In this case, you can open this text in the built-in text editor by giving the appropriate command or by simply pressing F4.
slide 26
Slide 27
Slide 28
This editor provides more text formatting options. Also, if dictionaries are installed in the program, then when editing the text, its spelling is checked. MyTestXPro tests are stored in files, one test is one file. To save the test, select File → Save or File → Save As...
Slide 29
If you have a ready-made test and you need to add several tasks from it, then give the command File → Import from another test...
slide 30
It is also possible to set up automatic verification of tasks when they are saved or the test is saved. It is also recommended to return to the test parameters and once again check whether all the desired parameters are set, maybe you wanted the task options to be mixed, but forgot to set this option. If it is not possible to conduct computer testing, you can create "paper tests". For self-preparation of students at home, you can create stand-alone (exe) tests that combine a testing module and a test, do not require installation, and can store the necessary settings.
Slide 31

Slide 33
Grading Test and Assignments MyTestXPro
The grading system is set in the test parameters. It can be anything from 2-point (for example, pass/fail) to 100-point. For each level of assessment, the minimum score or percentage of the total score required to achieve it and, if required, an alternative name for the assessment.
slide 34
Slide 35
Specifying a Job Weight
How many points the test taker will receive for answering the task is indicated in the task settings - it can be a value from 1 to 100. Also, on the “Advanced” tab, you can set a special penalty for the task for the “penalty mode”.
