The first step in the testing cycle is to identify why a test needs to be developed. It can be to evaluate the knowledge, understanding, ability and/or skills of the learners (efsli 2013, p. 12) or it is needed to evaluate changes in the curriculum (Mann & Haug, 2014, p.131). For example, students enrolled in a signed language interpreters’ programme are required by programme regulations to take a course and programme final exam in signed language before completing a course/ graduating (Leeson, Wurm, & Vermeerbergen, 2011).
