| The Goal of Testing
| One looks in vain for a computational description of the
goal of testing. While this brief (3-page) paper is a bit
technical in nature, it defines the goal of testing clearly
and concisely. This paper was sponsored by the
Performance Testing Council.
|
| The Watch
| A brief essay about the things that simply cannot be
tested using multiple-choice methodology. A springboard
for conversations about why performance testing is
essential to describe much of what we do.
|
| Gating Items
| This paper presents a new item type for consideration:
Gating items: Items which must be passed for the
candidate to pass the exam. Unknown in multiple choice
testing, these items are critical to many performance tests.
|
| ScaleMark Standard Setting
| ScaleMark describes a standard-setting process which
is faster than conventional Angoff or Bookmark processes,
but provides a cutpoint with greater complexity and
precision than either.
|
| Calculating ROI for Testing
| This detailed paper presents a quantitative way to evaluate
the value of an exam. It rests on data typically available from
corporate sales and marketing departments. |
