Last year for the first time programming examinations in the Department were on line. We could do this because there was a secure system called Lexis for running examinations.
Unfortunately, Lexis was written by a programmer who has left, in a monolithic manner, in a language (Ruby) not known by anyone else. Worse, before it could be run for this September's resit examinations a great deal of work had to be done by the original programmer to get it to work. The aim of this project is to produce Lexis II, the maintainable version of Lexis.
