The positive impacts of the test generation tool will be increased convenience and efficiency for instructors, as well as consistency among tests in a certain subject material or department. Other positive impacts include test security by assigning students near unique tests lowering the possibility of students being able to cheat or share answers.
Potential negative impacts of the software may include poorly written tests, and the possibility of students exploiting the test taking client. If test generation mechanism does not perform well enough to create challenging tests, results may suffer, and the instructor may choose to not use the application. If the test taking system is not secure enough a student may be able to exploit the system.
