The main challenge of ability tests relates to the difficulty of items, whereas speed tests demand that test takers complete very easy items quickly.

Decades of research have unveiled much of the ecological and demographic context of the forma...
متن کاملWhat Can Be Learned from CMMi Failures?
The software crisis has been around since 1968 when NATO first identified the problematic nature of software development. In recognition of the need to manage the process of software development many methodologies have been proposed over the years. A recent contribution to this rich set of rigorous software development methodologies is the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Capability Matur...
