OWASP Exams Project

Description

The OWASP Exams project will establish the model by which the OWASP community can create and distribute CC-licensed exams for use by educators. The purpose of the exams is to improve the effectiveness of OWASP training through the use of exams as a means of measurement and student progress tracking. The project will include creation of a set of CC-licensed exams, a model for exam usage, and a roadmap for future exam creation. The exams will be distributed in this project site as well as in Moodle (an open source LMS) format so that they can be re-purposed for use in any system or an educator can use them directly in Moodle to administer exams to students. Ideally the exams will be tied to OWASP Academies learning blocks so that there is good learning and training content that can be used to motivate the usage of the exams. This project will also include study aids for use in learning material covered by the exams.

Components

Moodle Learning Management System

You can find the OWASP Academies Moodle learning management system (LMS) here - http://www.owaspa.org/moodle

The Moodle learning management system will contain eLearning courses to teach OWASP related application security content related to the exams in this project. The LMS will also host exams from this project so that students can log into the system, take an exam and get a grade. Independent students can use this system and educators can also administer an exam for a class or multiple classes of students.

The first deliverables of this project on the LMS are:

• OWASP Top 10 Threats and Mitigations eLearning course. Available by 2/4.
• OWASP Top 10 Threats and Mitigations exam. Available by 2/4.
