Quality Assurance

Tools to ensure that every question is error-free, valid, and reliable

We help testing organisations to improve their quality assurance process

A key aim for many high-stakes test providers is to ‘bake in’ quality assurance at each stage of the test development process. With GradeMaker Pro you can achieve this with customised quality checks, handy reviewer tools and exam coverage reports for scrutineer meetings.

Moving to online authoring can improve exam quality if…

GradeMaker Pro gives you...

Built-in Quality Assurance forms for mandatory completion at every stage and designed to meet your specific requirements.
One place for all questions to be created and edited, so nothing is lost in multiple versions.
Tagging tools that link items to your quality framework, including Bloom’s Taxonomy, Assessment Objectives, Topic and Skill Mapping.

The ability to record targeted and actual difficulty and discrimination values, enabling you to construct well balanced tests.
Tools for reviewers to flag content issues and request they be actioned before an item or test can proceed through the workflow.
Reports for approvers and project managers on test coverage to support QPEC or quality assurance meetings.

There is an easier way to maintain high-standards in your quality assurance process

Get a complete overview of your quality assurance process with Version Compare

GradeMaker Pro enables you to get a complete picture of your authoring, reviewing and approval process, capturing who did what and when.

This unique feature allows you to quickly and efficiently run a ‘Root Cause Analysis’, identify where errors were introduced and amend workflows to guard against future mistakes.

“One of the key parts of my role is accountability, ensuring that all issues raised during review stages have been addressed and resolved at each stage of the production process. This is where the Version Compare tool has been an absolute game changer. You no longer have to check back to the previous version, as the compare tool really clearly shows you what has changed.”
