Developing a custom Adobe Experience Manager Quiz Component

You can develop a custom Adobe Experience Manager Quiz component that lets your web site visitors perform a quiz and view the results. There are business requirements that require visitors to perform an online quiz and then track the results. Building a custom quiz component is one use case where developing a custom component addresses this type of requirement.

Note: Using AEM adaptive forms or other forms is not a recommended way to develop a custom AEM quiz component. Instead, its better to develop a custom component as discussed in this article.

The following illustration shows the quiz component developed in this development article.


Once started the quiz component steps the user through the questions.


Once the user completes the quiz, the custom AEM component displays the user's results.



Another requirement of the quiz component is the questions and answers are configurable. That is, an AEM author can set them without updating the component's application logic.
