Administering one form of the test to a group of individuals. At some later time, administering an alternate form of the same test to the same group of people. Correlating scores on form A with scores on form B. The correlation between scores on the two alternate forms is used to estimate the reliability of the test.
consequential validity; face validity; A good assessment has both validity and reliability, plus the other quality attributes noted above for a specific context and purpose. In practice, an assessment is rarely totally valid or totally reliable. A ruler which is marked wrongly will always give the same (wrong) measurements.
Evidence-based assessment (EBA) refers to the application of research and theory in selecting constructs for a specific assessment purpose, as well as informing the methods and measures used in the assessment process. [1] This approach recognizes that, despite data from psychometrically robust measures, the assessment process inherently ...

Assessment of a skill should comply with the four principles of validity, reliability ...
The NREPP evaluation, which assigns quality ratings from 0 to 4 to certain criteria, examines reliability and validity of outcome measures used in the research, evidence for intervention fidelity (predictable use of the treatment in the same way every time), levels of missing data and attrition, potential confounding variables, and the ...
