Association of Test Publishers
The Association of Test Publishers or ATP is an established non-profit trade association representing providers of tests and assessment tools and/or services related to assessment, selection, screening, certification, licensing, educational or clinical uses.[1][2] It was founded in 1992 following the dissolution of its predecessor, the Association of Personnel Test Publishers (APTP).[3]
In 2001, the ATP published the Guidelines for Computer-Based Testing and the Internet, which addressed testing via electronic devices.[4] In 2006, the ATP published a survey of 77 companies in which about half reported that their IT certification exams were available for sale on the internet, along with widespread reports of cheating on those exams.[5]
