                               1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Overview
The Online Quiz Application is an interactive web-based platform designed to facilitate
learning and self-assessment for students. Built using Spring Boot for the backend,
React for the frontend, and MySQL for database management, this application
combines robust functionality with a user-friendly interface. The primary goal of the
application is to provide students with the opportunity to take quizzes on subjects of
their choice and receive instant feedback on their performance. The platform
emphasizes ease of use, reliability, and real-time interaction, making it an effective tool
for both education and skill development. The Quiz Portal web application is an online
test simulator to hold online quiz test in a decisive and skilled manner and thus avoiding
wastage of time for manually examining the test paper. The major objective of this web
based online quiz system is to competently evaluate the student/candidate thoroughly
through an automated system that not only saves a lot of time but also gives fast,
improved, and accurate results. It allows the students/candidate appearing for the quiz
to give the test/papers according to their convenience from any location by simply using
internet and time over the manual/traditional pen and paper format. The online quiz
system provides the student/candidate with a quick and easy way to show up for the
test/quiz. It also imparts and produces results of the quiz immediately after the quiz
with 100% accuracy and security. Student can appear for the quiz only with their valid
credentials such as valid username and valid password. This quiz consists of multiple-
choice questions and appropriate number of options. This system provides time limit to
each user. The candidate can verify their results immediately after the completion of
the quiz

1.2 Motivations
Presently, most of the institutions are following pen & paper-based approach of
conducting quizes. Although it has several benefits but in total it’s not very efficient
system. The offline quiz system has numerous downsides, for example, trouble in
investigating the quiz physically, more invigilators are needed to take a test of numerous
understudies. Quiz results are not precise since figuring's are executed physically, the
possibility of losing test's results is excessive in present frameworks, result checking is
time-consuming as it was physically done, at one time counted number of students can
appear for the quiz. The advancement in data technology and using it systematically
and appropriately will overcome the current mistake in the manual framework. This
system is required to prepare registration\application form, question paper for the
students and required to print a lot of number manually. To calculate how many students
registered, and verification of details of these students in a month by hand is very
difficult. This requires quite a lot of time and wastage of money as it requires quite lot
of manpower to do that. Another factor that takes into account that is the possibility of
errors. Some of the few mentioned key points which are downsides of existing pen &
paper manual quiz system:
• Time Consuming for creating question paper.
• Time to check right and wrong answers.
• Calculation of Marks.
• Human error.
                                      Page 11 of 33
• Limitation of no of student can give quiz at a time.
• Student needs to come quiz centre for giving test.
Proposed System
The proposed system, "Online Quiz Application," is an innovative web-based platform
designed to provide students with an engaging and efficient way to assess their
knowledge. This application addresses the limitations of traditional pen-and-paper
quizzes by introducing a dynamic, scalable, and automated solution for learning and
self-assessment. The system leverages the power of modern technologies to ensure
seamless operation, enhanced user experience, and reliable performance.
The backend of the system is developed using Spring Boot, a framework known for its
simplicity and robust features. It enables efficient management of business logic and
ensures the application is highly scalable and secure. The frontend is implemented using

deadlines and maintaining the overall workflow of a collaborative project. The
combined effort made testing, debugging, and documentation more structured and
comprehensive.
As an individual contributor, I improved my technical and problem-solving skills,
especially in identifying and debugging errors during testing phases. I became more
proficient in writing clear and concise documentation, ensuring that others could easily
follow the project's processes and outcomes. Additionally, I developed my ability to
adapt to changes and address challenges swiftly, which bolstered my confidence in
managing responsibilities.
One major strength of our design process was its iterative nature. We ensured that
feedback loops were in place, allowing us to refine our work continuously. This helped
us stay flexible and address issues promptly. Moreover, our commitment to thorough
documentation ensured a seamless understanding of the project's lifecycle. However,
one weakness was the initial lack of clarity in defining specific roles and
responsibilities, which occasionally led to overlaps or gaps in task execution.
Additionally, while our design emphasized functionality, we could have spent more
time on optimizing user experience and aesthetics. These insights will guide us in
improving future projects.
