Abstract
Online Umfrage Tools werden heute genutzt, um auf einem einfachen Weg Feedback zu sammeln und die Resultate zu exportieren ohne den Overhead einer auf Papier basierenden Umfrage. Es existieren verschiedene Online Umfrage Tools. Aber diese Losungen sind entweder nicht kostenlos oder bieten nur eine limitierte Anzahl von Umfragen ohne Kosten, und in den meisten Fallen ist es nicht moglich, zu steuern, wer Zugang zu den Daten hat. Datenschutz ist ein wichtiger Parameter, wenn Information wie E-Mail Adressen, Telefonnummern oder Namen gesammelt werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit soll ein Open-Source Online Umfrage Tool, welches verschiedene Fragetypen unterstutzt, designed und implementiert werden, so dass Administratoren, welche die Umfragen erstellen, als auch End-User das Tool in gleichem Masse und ezient sowohl auf Desktops, Laptops als auch Tablets uber einen Web Browser nutzen konnen. Das System muss Multiple Choice Fragen, Single Choice Fragen, Freitext Fragen, Sprung Bedingungen und vordenierte Dropdown Auswahlen unterstutzen. Die Resultate einer Umfrage mussen in der Datenbank verfugbar und als Plain Text oder Excel Files exportierbar sein. Nicht zuletzt, muss jede Kommunikation zwischen Web Interface und dem Server das Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol nutzen. Gemass den oben genannten Anforderungen wurde eine Webapplikation entwickelt, welche die einfache Erstellung von Umfragen erlaubt und sowohl auf Desktops als auch Tablets genutzt werden kann. In zukunftigen Arbeiten konnten neue Features hinzugefugt werden.
Abstract - optional
Online questionnaires are nowadays used as an easy way to collect people’s feedback and export the results without having the overhead of a paper based questionnaire. There
are several online questionnaires and online survey tools in place. However, the solutions are either not free of charge or only offer a limited number of surveys without a charge,
and in most of these cases there is no control of who has access to the data. Privacy is a very important parameter, when it comes to collecting information such as e-mail address, phone numbers, or names. In this thesis an open-source online questionnaires tool that supports basic question types has to be designed and prototyped in a way that the administrator, who is the person that creates a survey, and the end-user interface can be equally and efficiently accessed in desktops, laptops, and tablets through a Web browser. The system must support multiple choice questions, multiple selection questions, free text answers, jump conditions, and pre-defined drop-down selections. The results of a questionnaire must be accessible in a database, exported in plain text and Excel files. Last but not least, any communication between the Web interface and the server must use the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol. According to the above-mentioned requirements a webapplication was developed which allows an easy creation of surveys and can be accessed in desktops as well as tablets. In future work new features could be added or the code could be refactored.
