New approach to test validation prioritizes real-world impact over theory
The article discusses a new way to validate tests by focusing on how they are used, rather than just their design. This approach involves four steps: stating the test's purpose, considering potential negative effects of using the test, matching these with different types of evidence, and prioritizing the most important evidence. The goal is to create a clear and strong argument for why a test is valid, which can be understood by experts and non-experts alike.
