Abstract

The automated assessment of authentic Information Technology skills relies on testing candidate's output for conformity with the operations which should have been performed during the test. Since a test is unique, test specifications are unique to each test. This paper describes transformations which can be applied to the instructions given to the candidate to generate the test specifications which drive automated IT skills assessors.
