Abstract
Educational assessment in developing nations has suffered considerable setbacks with the Covid-19 Pandemic lockdown measures evident with the postponement of standardised examinations. This occurrence is due to heavy reliance on the table development procedures, which calls for innovative solutions such as electronic item banking. This study evaluated FastTest being an electronic item banking solution premised on the Connoisseurship and Criticism evaluation model. This model was deemed appropriate, grounded on the evaluator's professional expertise for describing, critically appraising, and illuminating FastTest as an electronic item banking platform, based on which a conclusion was drawn. The evaluation shows that FastTest for electronic item banking has carefully integrated algorithm, data analytics, and internet of things (IoTs), which are pillars of 4IR in the functioning of the application. Premised on the evaluation, this study concluded of FastTest as an appropriate platform that can be adopted for electronic item writing for the educational sector in terms of standardised assessments based on which a recommendation was made. This study is not without implications for 4IR, which is a current wave in today's world.
