QST
Online assessment software. From a quick quiz on your phone to large scale, high stakes, proctored desktop testing, easy, secure and economical.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is QST actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. QST is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at sourceforge.net — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What QST actually does
QST is a self-hosted online assessment platform designed to handle testing scenarios ranging from informal mobile quizzes to large-scale proctored desktop examinations. It provides a secure and cost-effective digital environment for administering tests and evaluating participant knowledge. The software falls within the learning management and knowledge management sectors.
Best fit: It is suitable for educational institutions or organisations looking to self-host a dedicated platform for quizzes, exams, and structured assessments.
Worth knowing: The repository currently shows no community adoption stars, zero recent commits, and no tagged releases, suggesting it may be unmaintained or an abandoned project. You should expect to handle any bugs, security patches, or configuration issues independently.
Deployment notes
Because the application is built using Perl, you will typically need to configure a web server with a proper CGI or PSGI handler alongside a database backend. Ensure you place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination securely.
