Test Development: Fundamentals for Certification and Evaluation provides practical guidelines for the classical approach to test development— specifically for certification and credentialing. Most of the existing high quality books on the topic of criterion-referenced test (CRT) development are written for professional statisticians and psychometricians. This book serves as an accessible resource on test development that does not require any technical background or expertise.

Part I, Conceptual Principles, covers the process of CRT development in narrative form. Part II, the Technical Appendix, contains the computational instructions and supplementary background material.
