At a time when the measurement profession has become very advanced and technical in orientation, the introduction of this book has come to address an urgent need or should I say filled a yearning gap. In particular the new edition with topics on Rasch model, generalizability theory is most welcome. In a sentence, the new book is special and uncommon by putting together both the theory and practice of test development. For this reason, it is one in its own class.

This book is highly valuable. I use it regularly with my graduate students to help them understand the research processes around inventory development. the early chapters on quality evaluation of items are especially useful. in my view this book should be considered the standard recommended text in the topic area.
