Hakutest runs on the local network (but it can also be run on a global network as well). Each test is represented by a JSON file that is stored locally on your device. When the Hakutest server is running, students can access the test through the browser. The platform dynamically generates a web page for each test, displaying the questions and any additional content specified in the test file.
Once students have completed the test and submitted their answers, Hakutest automatically checks their responses against the expected solutions. This automated answer checking process provides instant feedback to students. The platform evaluates each answer based on the predefined criteria set in the test file, allowing for accurate and efficient grading.
By utilizing this approach, Hakutest ensures that the testing process is secure and reliable. Since the test files are stored locally, the platform maintains data privacy and prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information.
