The article presents description, advantages, and use of the Achievement Testing Software (ATS) developed by the authors – the teaching staff of the Military Diplomatic Academy named after Yevheniy Bereznyak – for cadets’ achievement testing in the educational process of higher military educational institutions. The authors prove the necessity of the ATS introduction into the educational process of such institutions due to the inability of existing computer testing software to fully satisfy their needs (high costs of technical maintenance, closed exit codes, and constant reliance on the Internet connection making it impossible to provide sensitive information security). Unlike other systems, the ATS is a reliable instrument of military educational control, capable of operating off-line. It was developed based on fundamental works in test theory, measurement and evaluation by Ukrainian and foreign scholars. It can be widely used for different types of achievement testing in higher military educational institutions: classroom; entrance or summative; and in any type of military course. The ATS rational use allows saving learning time and teachers’ effort, simultaneous engagement of many cadets in the training process, as well as objective measurement and evaluation through its automation. The ATS also provides capabilities of control over the educational process which allow curricula correction due to the constant feedback from cadets. Basically, the ATS performs two interrelated functions: test development and editing (by teachers); and academic achievement measuring (by cadets through the developed test items). The system can be easily installed on personal computers with Windows XP Professional SP2 operational system. The article describes in greater detail the procedure of operating in two modules: the Teacher’s Module and the Testing Module. Here, the ATS provides a user-friendly menu that can be easily navigated by pressing on buttons and selecting necessary options according to the instructions. The test entrance is password-protected, the test is encrypted, and the test score can be quickly viewed by cadets and teachers immediately after its completion. The ATS efficiency was proved through an experiment involving cadets of the Military Diplomatic Academy named after Yevheniy Bereznyak by demonstrating improvement in their performance.

机译：本文介绍了作者开发的成就测试软件（ATS）的描述，优势和使用 - 以yevheniy Bereznyak为yevheniy Bereznyak的教学人员 - 在高等军事教育机构教育过程中进行学员的成就测试。由于现有计算机测试软件无法完全满足他们的需求（技术维护，封闭式退出代码和互联网连接的恒定依赖于互联网连接的高成本，因此证明了该机构的教育过程中的必要性介绍了此类机构的教育过程。无法提供敏感信息安全性）。与其他系统不同，ATS是一种可靠的军事教育控制工具，能够在线运行。它是基于测试理论，乌克兰和外国学者的基础作品的基础开发的。它可以广泛用于高等军教育机构中的不同类型的成就测试：教室;入口或总结;在任何类型的军事课程中。 ATS合理使用允许节省学习时间和教师的努力，同时通过其自动化进行培训过程中的许多学员的参与，以及客观的测量和评估。 ATS还提供了对教育过程的控制能力，允许由于学员的持续反馈而允许课程校正。基本上，ATS执行两个相互关联的功能：测试开发和编辑（由教师）;和学术成就测量（通过开发的测试项目通过Cadets）。系统可以轻松安装在带Windows XP Professional SP2操作系统的个人计算机上。本文更详细地描述了在两个模块中操作的过程：教师的模块和测试模块。这里，ATS提供了一个用户友好的菜单，可以通过按下按钮来轻松导航，并根据指令选择必要的选项。测试入口受密码保护，测试加密，测试分数可以在完成后立即通过Cadets和教师快速查看。通过涉及由Yevheniy Bereznyak的军事外交学院的Cadets通过展示其表现的改善，通过实验证明了ATS效率。
