What type of software is powering quiz type websites?

[Traitos]

Hello,

I have encountered a few websites running a quiz themed software where you answer questions/review answers/progress/ reset/random mocks .. etc

I know they use AJAX and many java scripts allover the website but I am quite sure that there is a content management system they all use to make it easier to create and edit their websites, could you please have a look at these sites and start a free trial to check which CMS they are using?

The websites are

Hello Traitos and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

You are fairly new here and you may not have had a chance to check out our welcome page, it has good tips about using the forums' features and information about avoiding edits - we don't like meddling with discussions. ;)

You should be able to determine the CMS or platform a site is using by simply viewing the source code from your browser. Viewing the source code can also tell you how the quiz is implemented. For example, if a site is running on WordPress, the quiz might be a plugin. A quiz might also be a script and viewing the source code might give you clues to help you find it.

Sorry, but we do not offer site reviews here because we prefer to educate webmasters to make their own judgements, rather than discuss specifics of any site.

I am really sorry, I didn't know these rules.

I apologize again :)

An addition to the original question,

I have tried to view the page source of the quiz based websites and found it full of java scripts but couldn't unfortunately determine which platform they have used to create it, I have used wordpress before and know how huge their plugins library but the quiz based educational management system is much more complicated .
I mean it isn't like creating a quiz randomly, it is like building a very complex mini exam

The quiz scripts could be custom created, meaning they are commercially produced and available. The names you see related to the scripts should help you with hints on how to look them up.

If you have tools to help you record headers during a page load you would have more detailed information. I like the (Mozilla) FireFox Developer Toolbar and Live HTTP headers extension.

found it full of java scripts

One needs to be careful, Java is not the same as Javascript (js for short). They are entirely different programming languages. I think what you meant to say is: full of Javascript scripts.

Further to not2easy's comments, it is true that looking at the source code may provide hints of the CMS used, specially if the website use WordPress or Drupal. But for example, on my websites I code my own CMS's and there is indication of how that is done or what code I am using, similarly it is possible that there are commercial or open sourced available CMS that also don't reveal themselves.

As for JS, if the website is using standard package, that would need to be called by the page, typically with a "<script src=" tag in the head section of the page.

The JS or CSS sometimes contain hints of what product was used to create what you're looking at.
Clues can be in the form of credits that are in commented areas.
Sometimes searching on a small snippet can reveal that information as well.

The name of the JS/CSS file can also be a clue.

If all that fails then search for WP Quiz Plugin and you will probably find several affiliate sites promoting paid options, with a mock review of a free option that will probably say it's hard to use...

Most top ranked WP Plugin Review sites say the same thing about the free plugins, that they're hard to use, LOL.

i use something like builtwith.com to discover the underlying website technology stack.
