Problem Statement: Computer assisted language testing is becoming more frequent in many parts of Europe and the world. Likewise, in many countries like Spain, Greece, or Turkey (among many more), there is a move towards integrating information technologies and computers in high stakes testing. However, due to the limited information on this topic, it is necessary to provide active and training teachers with pieces of simple, accessible research that can help them understand the complex processes involved in designing language testing platforms or the relationship between computers and tests. Purpose of the Study: The main goal of this paper was to examine different approaches to computer based language testing design and also show one example done in Spain which may also be valid for different contexts and countries like many university entrance examinations in Europe or the ÖSYM in Turkey.Ministerio de Educación y Cienci
