Abstract

In this paper, we will present a modality for generating knowledge-check tests using questions characterized by keywords. The obtained tests have certain restrictions regarding the keywords labeling the questions. These restrictions will be defined in the paper. The test generation will be made using genetic algorithms, whose chromosomes will be considered the tests and genes will be considered questions. At the end of the paper some results obtained with the algorithm implemented in Java programming language will be presented.
