Where did testing begin?

• In the laboratory

• In the field

• In the classroom

• In the office

What are the different types of tests?

• Unit tests, Integration tests, System tests, Acceptance tests

• Only Unit tests and Integration tests

• Only System tests and Acceptance tests

• None of the above

The purpose of the different types of tests is to:

• Evaluate knowledge and understanding

• Provide entertainment

• Increase stress levels

• None of the above

Some commonly used tests are:

• Unit tests, Integration tests, System tests

• Alpha tests, Beta tests, Acceptance tests

• Load tests, Stress tests, Performance tests

• All of the above

Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) are:

• statistical frameworks used in psychometrics.

• types of psychological disorders.

• methods of qualitative research.

• ancient philosophical theories.

A variable is:

• a constant value

• a storage location identified by a memory address

• a type of function

• an error in the code

The Nominal Level of measurement is used to:

• Categorize data without a specific order

• Rank data in a specific order

• Measure the exact value of data

• Determine the relationship between variables

The Ordinal Level of measurement is used to:

• Rank order items without establishing the magnitude of difference between them

• Measure the exact difference between items

• Categorize items without any order

• Establish a true zero point

What is the Interval Level of measurement?

• A level of measurement where the difference between values is meaningful.

• A level of measurement that involves categories only.

• A level of measurement that involves a true zero point.

• A level of measurement that involves ranking only.

Define the Ratio Level of measurement.

• A level of measurement where the difference between values is meaningful and there is a true zero point.

• A level of measurement that categorizes data without a specific order.

• A level of measurement that ranks data but does not have a true zero point.

• A level of measurement that uses arbitrary zero points and equal intervals.
