The positive impacts the Test Tool will provide will help both students and professors. It could change the way tests are given and taken. Eventually, all classes of a similar subject could share the same question bank to allow for equivalent level testing in all university institutions. It could also allow professors to spend more time teaching rather than testing and grading. Professors could use less time and paper creating tests and either have more free time or use the time to work on other projects.

There could be a couple negative impacts that might cause some problems. The test question and answer repository must be on a very secure network. If it ever did get hacked then it could disturb up test taking all over the university. The graded tests would also have to be kept secure, or students could hack in and change test grades. If schools lean more toward assignments over tests, this program may become obsolete. Also, if students start to work together on the tests, this would also cause problems. There would need to be much greater monitoring over what programs are being ran on the computer taking the quiz/test, as well as what is going on in class during test taking. A final problem this program might face are people who are not computer literate or lack the abilities to do things on the computer, and this could create an unfair advantage to some students. Other than these two problems however, this program doesn’t appear to have any other negative impacts.
