	psychology, and computing science are beginning to appear in educational and psychological assessment. Computer adaptive-attribute testing (CA-AT) is one example. The concepts and procedures in CA-AT can be found at the intersection between computer adaptive testing and cognitive diagnostic assessment. CA-AT allows us to fuse the administrative benefits of computer adaptive testing with the psychological benefits of cognitive diagnostic assessment to produce an innovative psychologically-based adaptive testing approach. We describe the concepts behind CA-AT as well as illustrate how it can be used to promote formative, computer-based, classroom assessment.</p>
