Validating Standards-Based Test Score Interpretations

Validating Standards-based Test Score Interpretations

Standards-based score reports interpret test performance with reference to cut scores defining categories like "below basic" or "proficient" or "master." This paper first develops a conceptual framework for validity arguments supporting such interpretations, then presents three applications. Two of these are serve to introduce new standard-setting methods. The conceptual framework lays out the ...

Updated standards for validating elliptic curves

We give a concise statement of a test for security of elliptic curves that should be inserted into the standards for elliptic curve cryptography. In particular, current validation for parameters related to the MOV condition that appears in the latest draft of the IEEE P1363 standard [3, Section A.12.1, Section A.16.8] should be replaced with our subfield-adjusted MOV condition. Similarly, the S...

Model-Based Test Criteria for Validating Annotated Web Applications

In this paper we present a method the uses classical test coverage criteria for graphs, such as, all-edges, all nodes, and simple paths, to guide the testing of PageFlow graphs. The coverage criteria of the PageFlow graphs are applied to Actions/Pages and Forwards/Links of a web application.

The slump test: Clinical applications and interpretations

The slump test is a physical examination procedure used for evaluating patients with spinal and lower extremity complaints. The test seeks to rule out or identifY tension in the neuromeningeal tract. The performance of the test places traction on the neuromeningeal tract from head to foot. Traction on non-neurological tissues also occurs during testing. To localize pathology to specific regions...
