The article discusses the original remote testing system of students BonTest, created on the basis of the Department of Safety for Life and Activity of the St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University ETU “LETI”. As part of the “digital economy” formation, the education system faces new challenges. Electronic and distance learning of students requires the creation of new software products integrated into the digital educational environment of the educational institution. The BonTest testing system provides the ability to automatically generate options and upload test results in MS Office Word, MS Office Excel formats, as well as provide statistical data on student progress by academic semesters, groups, types of classes and course topics. The teacher’s interface allows you to control access to testing, customize the parameters for passing the test and displaying the results, including the errors of each student. The test is available both in the classroom from computers (Microsoft Windows operating system) or smartphones (iOS or Android operating systems), and in a remote format. The program has a two-stage protection against unauthorized access; its database contains more than 3 thousand test questions. Currently, the BonTest system is widely used in the educational process at the department. Its main advantages are simplicity and efficiency of administration when solving technical issues; no failures or reduced response time of the system as a result of increased load on the server, the ability to promptly refine the program toolkit for emerging requests, as well as the ability to store an extensive database of test questions.
