=== Testing standards ===
In 2014, the American Educational Research Association (AERA), American Psychological Association (APA), and National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) published a revision of the ''[[Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.apa.org/science/standards.html#overview|title=The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing|website=apa.org}}</ref> which describes standards for test development, evaluation, and use. The ''Standards'' cover essential topics in testing including validity, reliability/errors of measurement, and fairness in testing. The book also establishes standards related to testing operations—including test design and development, scores, scales, norms, score linking, cut scores, test administration, scoring, reporting, score interpretation, test documentation, and rights and responsibilities of test takers and test users. Finally, the ''Standards'' cover topics related to testing applications, including [[Psychological testing|psychological testing and assessment]], workplace testing and [[Professional certification|credentialing]], [[Test (student assessment)|educational testing and assessment]], and testing in [[program evaluation]] and public policy.
