PRACTICAL ISSUES IN COMPUTERIZED TEST ASSEMBLY

This paper focuses on the potential contributions of optimal test desi gn models to practical test assembly issues. These issues result from limitations in the models or the technology required for their impleme ntation and limitations inherent in the test assembly process as it is currently configured, regardless of whether tests are assembled by co mputerized assembly algorithms or by experienced test specialists. Exp lication of these issues helps identify future challenges for research ers who may refine and enhance the models and for practitioners who ma y integrate the models into their operational procedures.
