Computer Adaptive Testing Quality Requirements
Abstract: Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) is becoming very popular. In order to be effective in the educational process, it is important to consider quality requirements. This paper presents CATE (CAT Evaluation), a framework for CAT quality requirements. It presents and analyzes three dimensions: educational, economical and technical. The educational dimension includes content, presentation, sequencing and feedback. The economical dimension includes costs, contract and cost-effectiveness. The technical dimension includes user interface, reliability, maintainability, performance, functionality, adaptation, connectivity and security. Designers, developers and evaluators of CAT systems may use this framework to make appropriate decisions.
