| Descripción : | Testing is a universal practice in the world and it has been modified due to the different changes in Education. Testing helps teachers to verify people’s abilities, strengths, weaknesses in a certain area and it can be carried out considering the level of the tested person by means of an instrument where results will be interpreted according to an established score (MacNamara, 2000). Bachman and Palmer (1996) state that testing is a process with a variety of considerations which have to be taken into account in order to develop an appropriate test. Also they argue that this process has to be considered not only in the development of international and national tests, but also for classroom tests because it is where commonly language learning and teaching happens. For that reason, testing influences teaching since it involves to follow a procedure when designing different types of tests which have to be directly related to the objective of the course syllabus, qualities, structure, techniques to be used, scoring processes, and interpretation of the results. Test purpose is considered the most important characteristic in test design because the purpose will make explicit the use of the test (Bachman, 1990; Bachman and Palmer, 1996). Bachman (1990), Hughes (2002), Weir (1993), MacNamara (2000), and Bachman and Palmer (1996) consider reliability, validity, practicality, authenticity, interactiveness, impact and washback as general test qualities which contribute to test usefulness because they define aspects like stability of measurement; justification over the scores; correspondence between tasks and candidates’ language abilities; the use and the implementation of the test in a particular situation; and the different ways in which tests use affects. All these aspects are discussed throughout this document. |
