Custom Scoring

Override evaluation methods in question model:

def evaluate_answer(self, user_answer):
    # Custom scoring logic
    return score, is_correct, feedback

📊 Performance & Scalability

Performance Metrics

• Response Time - < 200ms for typical operations
• Concurrent Users - 100+ supported (server dependent)
• Database Load - Optimized queries with proper indexing
• Memory Usage - Low footprint design

Scalability Limits

• Questions per Quiz - 1000+ (no hard limits)

• File Storage - Minimal (text-based content)

Optimization Tips

# Use domain filters efficiently
quiz_ids = self.env['quiz.quiz'].search([
    ('published', '=', True),
    ('time_limit', '>', 0)
], limit=50)

# Prefetch related data
sessions.mapped('quiz_id.name')  # Batch load quiz names

tail -f /var/log/odoo/odoo.log

# Verify file permissions
chown -R odoo:odoo /path/to/custom_addons/quiz

# Restart Odoo after changes
sudo systemctl restart odoo
