The broader goal of this research, on the one hand, is to obtain the State of the Art in Automated Test Production (ATP), to find the open questions and related problems and to track the progress of researchers in the field, and on the other hand is to list and categorize the methods, techniques and tools of ATP that meet the needs of practitioners who produce computerized business applications for internal use in their corporations - eventually it can be extended to the needs of practitioners in companies that specialize in producing computer applications for generic use.
