TestCommander is a program that can be found on the internet and can be downloaded by anyone for free.  It has the features of a quiz based application and is able to provide users with a short quizzes that contains multiple choice and true/false questions.  Quiz creation can be done by the administrator and requires a password to create and edit quizzes.

TestCommander has been around for several years now and has a plain interface that is ultimately unimpressive.  Its ability to navigate questions mid-quiz is a nice feature and the administrative abilities are perfect for this application.  

Good Features:

• Covers the basic functionality

• Bank of tests

• Mark button to return to previous questions

• Remaining time displayed on the screen

• Remaining questions is displayed on the screen

• A “Go To” button to switch between questions during a test

  

• “Previous” and “Next” buttons allowed users to navigate questions even after answering all questions.

• Upon test completion a Score Report is provided that includes information about the test that includes the students score, their scores by section, and some information about the test that they just took.  Also gives the ability to print the Score Report

Bad Features:

• If time expires before student finishes the test, the Score Report does not always display

• Score Report forces you to exit the program before taking another test

• Although students enter personal info before taking a test, the program does not save a profile or email results to the student.

• Had difficulty locating the administrative tools

Missing Features:

• Bank of questions

• More question formats besides multiple choice and short answer (T/F, fill-in, matching)
