Ensuring QTI documents are valid is extremely important for maximising interoperability across different tools. QTItools provides two tools for helping to ensure that QTI assessments are valid and, thus suitable for use with the other QTItools projects.

[edit] What is validation?

Validation is process which will check for you if given document is valid QTI document. Currently supported documents are assessmentItem (not fully implemented), assessmentTest and assessmentReport.

It is very important to say that validation itself (the validation process) is implemented in JQTI Library not in this project. This project is about implementation of user interface to validation process.

[edit] Goals of this project

  • Validation tool for community
  • Validation of assessmentTest before assessment starts
  • Help with implementation of validation process
  • Prototype of Constructr
  • Very limited test construction tool

[edit] Validatr Tools

Validatr is available in two different formats:

  • The stand-alone validatr tool is a desktop application that is capable of real-time validation of QTI v2.1 tests. The validatr tool is capable of showing the user the locations of all errors, and warns of possible problems. The tool has limited editing facilities, which enable problems to be fixed quickly. Finally, validatr is capable of showing the flow of items in a test graphically.
  • QTItools also provides an online validation tool that is capable of generating a validity report for uploaded assessments and content packages. To use the online tool, select your file and press the validate button on the right.
