Testing is an integral part of any course regardless where it is taken, from classrooms to the workplace. As we all know testing is primarily used as an assessment tool that allows decisions to be made.

Traditional methods used the pen and paper strategy while during the early 1990s that transitioned to computers for many. Late 1990 saw the emergence of online training and testing so the aspect of courseware, LMS etc etc came of age. At the time due to bandwidth restrictions, corporate platforms were needed for some while others tried to work in reducing data to allow for the restrictions.
