A systematic review of 34 articles published within the last 20 years, that explored the implications of increased use of computer-based summative assessments revealed six key themes. Specifically: shifts in assessment design; impact on teachers; variation in computer familiarity; student experience; logistics and infrastructure; and hardware and software issues. Findings relating to comparability of results between the assessment modes are also discussed. This review evaluates the computer-based assessment (CBA) literature to identify the advantages and challenges for introducing CBA within educational institutions. The findings of this review will be of particular interest to those affected by a steady trend towards the introduction of CBA affecting both teachers and students. The review also provides a coherent summary of the existing literature in this rapidly changing field for researchers.

对过去 20 年内发表的 34 篇文章的系统评价，探讨了增加使用基于计算机的总结性评估的影响，揭示了六个关键主题。具体来说：评估设计的转变；对教师的影响；计算机熟悉程度的变化；学生体验；物流和基础设施；以及硬件和软件问题。还讨论了与评估模式之间的结果可比性有关的发现。本综述评估了基于计算机的评估 (CBA) 文献，以确定在教育机构中引入 CBA 的优势和挑战。对于那些受到影响教师和学生的 CBA 的稳定趋势影响的人来说，本次审查的结果将特别感兴趣。
