Results
The results from a test session are stored in a file using Java's
serialization system. A session log of a session contains information
about the session:
- Session ID.
- Starting time of session.
- Ending time of session.
- Session's MCL level.
- If the test was aborted because some error, the exception that
caused the test to abort is stored.
- Answers for each test item.
The answers are copies of the test items used in the session with the
subject's answers added. Each subject has its own copy of the test
item and his/hers answers are added to that copy. Information for
each test item for each subject in addition to test item parameters
are:
- The subject ID of the subject that gave these answers.
- The session ID.
- Starting time of this item.
- The duration of the item for this subject or timeout-indicator
that time for that item ran out.
- Number of samples played or number of sample switches the
subject made before deciding the answers.
- Answers for this item. It may not contain all answers if time
limit was enforced and time ran out for this item.
Serialized result files can be converted to human/computer readable
text files with the
result processing tools
for analysis with statistical packages.
