Abstract: Unfortunately, plagiarism is widespread on university campuses across the nation. The advances in the information technology provide even more sophisticated cheating prospects. Although there are many commercially available tools for detecting plagiarism but policing alone is not a comprehensive solution. We should strive to change the overall culture on university campuses in such a way that it discourages academic dishonesty. In this study, we present a tool called Test Guard that has two main features. First, it disables some cheating techniques such as copy-paste, insert file, etc. Then it checks the test for several types of plagiarism and generates a report on its findings.
