OSCATS (Open-Source Computerized Adaptive Testing System) implements Item Response Theory (IRT) and cognitively diagnostic (latent classification) models and item selection algorithms used in Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT). OSCATS facilitates the development of CATs and simulations of CATs by providing ready-to-use code for running the CAT item selection and ability/classification estimation in an extensible, modular framework. The library is written in object-oriented C using GObject, and has bindings to Python, Perl, PHP, and Java.
