The original ICT Skill Test application is a test instrument for evaluating digital skills. The implemented test application is a web application, written in PHP and JavaScript programming languages together with TinyMVC- and Bootstrap-frameworks. The software runs on a system with apache, PHP 7.2 and mariadb 5.5 or newer database. Apache needs PHP and rewrite modules. The test includes a survey phase, which collects background information, and 18 test items classified as medium-related skills: basic operations, information networks, installations and updates, and functionalities of word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software. In turn, the following items were seen as content-related skills: information seeking, communication, video- and audio processing, cloud services and publishing, image processing, social networking, information security, and software purchasing. In addition, because the renewed curricula in Finnish basic education includes also programming, the renewed ICT Skill Test also measures four kinds of programming related sub-skills: elementary programming, database operations, web programming and programming. The test content is in Finnish only.
