DATABASE [MS ACCESS]

Microsoft Office Access, previously known as Microsoft Access, is a relational database management system from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft Office suite of applications and is included in the Professional and higher versions for Windows and also sold separately.

Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Jet Database Engine. It can also import or link directly to data stored in other Access databases.

JAVA AND JSP TECHNOLOGY

Java has been tested, refined, extended, and proven by a dedicated community. And numbering more than 6.5 million developers, it's the largest and most active on the planet. With its versatility, efficiency, and portability, Java has become invaluable to developers by enabling them to:

Write software on one platform and run it on virtually any other platform. Create programs to run within a Web browser and Web services.

Develop server-side applications for online forums, stores, polls, HTML forms processing, and more.

Combine applications or services using the Java language to create highly customized applications or services

Java Server Pages (JSP) technology enables Web developers and designers to rapidly develop and easily maintain, information-rich, dynamic Web pages that leverage existing business systems. As part of the Java technology family, JSP technology enables rapid development of Web-based applications that are

platform independent. JSP technology separates the user interface from content generation, enabling designers to change the overall page layout without altering the underlying dynamic content.

Use JSP technology without having to learn the Java language. Extend the JSP language.

Easily write and maintain pages.

FUTURE SCOPE AND CONCLUSION

Future Scope

The project Online Aptitude Quiz has much scope in today. Today almost everything is performed electronically hence online aptitude quiz provides a good platform for aptitude assessment without paper work. Furthermore it also provides the storage and retrieval of result effectively. Hence paperwork is reduced and manual checking is also not required.

Limitations

One of the limitations in this project is the absence of the allowed time to attempt the quiz. The user can take as much time as he wants.

Another limitation of the project is the JSP technology; this is because at the time of deployment of the project we need a java web server. But, java web server is much costly than PHP and ASP server. Hence the deployment cost of the project will be higher than any of PHP or ASP project.
