ABSTRACT
Online tests have been identified as a core learning activity. Unlike conventional online tests, which cannot completely reflect students' learning status, two-tier tests not only consider students' answers, but also take into account reasons for their answers. Thus, research into a two-tier test had mushroomed but few studies examined why the two-tier test approach was effective. To this end, we conducted an empirical study, where a lag sequential analysis was used to analyze behavior patterns. The results indicated students with the two-tier test demonstrated different behaviors which develop "breadth to depth" and "depth to breadth" strategies.

A detailed investigation of the effectiveness of whole test suite generation
A common application of search-based software testing is to generate test cases for all goals defined by a coverage criterion (e.g., lines, branches, mutants). Rather than generating one test case at a time for each of these goals individually, whole ...
MCM Test Strategy Synthesis from Chip Test and Board TestApproaches
Special issue on multi-chip testing and design for testabilityChip test practices such as functional test and Bist, and their relevance to MCM testing are summarized. Drawbacks of using these techniques, for some MCMs, are presented. Board test practices such as in-circuit test and boundary-scan, are summarized; the ...
An NoC Test Strategy Based on Flooding with Power, Test Time and Coverage Considerations
VLSID '08: Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on VLSI DesignA test strategy for testing NoC switches based on flooding is presented in this paper. This test strategy tests all switch ports and network routes, while it avoids sending a test packet arriving at a switch in every direc- tion. This test strategy is ...
