那么这个新的模拟技术是什么呢?

在之前的一篇博客中，我曾说过，准确测试考生知识的唯一“真正”方法是让他们参加“动手”测试;无论是通过物理设备还是通过虚拟机。只有通过展示你在被测试的技术上执行任务的能力，你才能证明你对该主题既有知识也有掌握。微软已经开发了五种基于性能的测试，一种新的测试将在几个月后发布。现在你可能会问自己，这种基于性能的测试到底是什么?简而言之，测试的是你在测试的技术上执行任务的能力。与其他测试格式不同的是，你不是在选择多项选择的答案或使用拖放格式——你是在测试你在现实世界中执行这项技术的能力。换句话说，它是一种实践测试，验证考生在一种技术上工作和执行任务的能力，而不是记住被测试技术的细节。基于性能的测试将对微软认证领域产生两个重要的影响——帮助消除或减少头脑混乱，并显著提高微软认证的价值。这种测试方案的好处之一是，没有大量的问题供头脑分析者下载、记忆和反复思考。 True – a braindumper may be able to get a hold of the tasks they are to be performed on the test – but they will still need to know and learn HOW to do the tasks in order to pass the test. This will provide more validity to these tests and their associated certifications (as well as reducing paper MCSE’s). The second major benefit is the increased value of these tests and certifications with employers and the IT industry. The CCIE is so highly valued, in part, due to the lengthy and difficult hands-on test. In this case, as with the Performance based testing, you must actually demonstrate your competency on the technology. What is going to prove challenging for testers is finding testing centers that can support the new hardware levels required for the next generation performance based testing. So – all you Prometric testing centers that are procrastinating in purchasing new hardware – hop to it! I believe that more Microsoft Certification tests (if not all of them!) should be performance based as this truly tests the depth and breadth of knowledge of a candidate and not a multiple-guess test.
