Recource Limited Testing Center Scheduling For A Web-Based Testing Application, Adam J. Graham

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Testing centers are a useful tool to help instructors deliver computer-based tests, but computers resources are expensive and therefore limited. This paper describes a method by which testing center(s) may use iNetTest, a web-based computer aided testing system, to house and administer exams. The algorithm discussed in this paper makes it possible for instructors to schedule tests for a given time frame while ensuring that enough computer resources will be available to all of the students. The algorithm prevents the testing center from getting overwhelmed with students while attempting to maximize the usage of the valuable computer resources.

Validation Study: A Case Study Of Calculus 1 (Math 1210), Abibat Adebisi Lasisi

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

This report discusses the process of assessing the validity of a test. We provide an analysis of the validation study of a test administered to the first semester calculus students at Utah State University in the Fall 2011 semester. The results of our analysis suggest that the test has some measurement relevance. This implies that the subject contents of the test correlate with the syllabus of the course. Thus, the measurement has some learning level relevance. Our analysis also revealed that the measurement has a high reliability coefficient which signifies some internal consistency of the mea- surement. The relevancy and …

Test Case Generation Using Combinatorial Based Coverage For Rich Web Applications, Chad Maughan

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Web applications are increasingly moving business and processing logic from the server to the browser. Traditional, multiple-page request/response applications are quickly being replaced by single-page applications where complex application logic is downloaded on the initial page load and data is then subsequently fetched asynchronously via the browser's native XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object.

These new generation web applications are called Rich Web Applications (RWA). Frameworks such as the Google Web Toolkit (GWT), and JavaScript model-view-controller (MVC) frameworks such as Backbone.js are facilitating this move. With this migration, testing frameworks need to follow the logic by moving analysis and test generation from the …
