Abstract :
Effective and efficient test-sheet composition algorithm is the key to computer-aided testing. Based on harmony search algorithm, a novel binary intelligent algorithm for the test-sheet construction was studied. Using different scale item banks, simulation experiments were conducted to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm and the results were compared with the Simple Genetic Algorithm and Harmony Search Algorithm. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm has better performance in finding the effective and high quality test-sheet.
