Have you ever discussed with your colleagues whether a particular test makes sense? Me too, and sometimes it was difficult to find common ground.

In this interactive format, the “Four Pillars of a Good Test” by Vladimir Khorikov are presented. These four pillars provide us with clear criteria to evaluate the value of tests more objectively and to have an informed discussion about them.

We will first look at the individual pillars and then work in small groups to classify and evaluate specific tests based on these criteria. The aim is to develop a better understanding and a common language for the question: “How valuable is this test?”
