Abstract | This review departs from current practice in reviewing tests in that it employs an "argument-based approach" to test validation to guide the review (e.g. Bachman, 2005; Kane, 2006; Mislevy, Steinberg, & Almond, 2002). Specifically, it follows an approach to test development and use that Bachman and Palmer (2010) call the process of "assessment justification". This process focuses on investigating the extent to which the intended uses of a particular test can be justified to stakeholders. The justification process includes two interrelated activities. The first is articulating an assessment use argument (AUA; Bachman, 2003, 2005; Bachman & Palmer, 2010), which makes explicit claims that link test takers' performance to the consequences of test use. The second activity consists of collecting evidence to support the claims that are articulated in the AUA. This review aims to examine the evidence that is provided by the test developer about the intended uses of the test so that readers and test users will be better informed in making their own judgments.
