Test Security Tools and Measuring Their Effectiveness


Practice Area Division(s): Certification/Licensure, Education
Topic: Security

An effective test security program will help a test sponsor ensure score validity and protect test content by deterring and detecting threats. This presentation will discuss different test security tools implemented (such as electronic detection scanning devices, tip lines and photo upload) and techniques and metrics for measuring their effectiveness in mitigating test security threats. This interactive session will provide descriptions of the threats being addressed, the metrics and measures gathered for using tools such as electronic detection scanning devices, tip lines and photos and how this information is used to measure whether tools being implemented have an impact in the risks.
