Summary/Abstract: Reliability and accuracy are usually seen as indispensable test features, which have a huge impact on the usability of written foreign language tests. Basing on the results of lexical and grammatical tests, the author of the present article examines ways in which these two features can be assessed in the context of a validation test. Considering that in order to make such an analysis, it is necessary to preserve the results of specific tasks and examples, computer-based (or internet) testing may be helpful.
