Abstract

This research paper is an evaluation of computer-based test software in Kogi state university. A user-driven assessment of software quality and usability questionnaires were randomly administered to a sample of 200 undergraduate students of KSU who were sitting for the second semester GST entrepreneurship examination for the academic year 2013–2014. With help of descriptive statistics and graphical illustrations, the data derived were critically analyzed. It was discovered that a large number of participants were of the opinion that the information on the software is clear and at the same time informative enough and that the capacity of language that the software offers is simple to understand. Similarly, the major facts about students are incorporated in the software in addition to scoring of answers. Also invalid commands are resolved by the software constructively. However, a reasonable quantity of participants was not of the opinion that it is easy navigating through the software/program. An unprecedented percentage of participants strongly think that the software is run on obsolete computer and that the internet connectivity required for the computer used in conducting CBT with the applied software is slow. To advance the software quality and usability further, it will entail more IT infrastructures, and particularly a more flexible data base, sufficiently large bandwidth, network structure adjustability, feedback mechanism and back-up systems, highly sophisticated computers with high speed.
