Abstract: To carry out computer testing of knowledge of the students studying object-oriented programming, a software module "Test" was developed. It can become an element of the infor-mation and educational environment of the university and realize the possibilities of distance learning within the framework of using the SCORM standard. Information-educational resources (IOR) in SCORM format are accessible, adaptable, efficient, durable and interoperable. The information and educational resource implemented as SCORM package interacts with the LMS management system, which is implemented into the educational portal and transmits the important information. The program is created in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 environment using C# programming language. The offered testing module allows simultaneous testing on multiple computers without duplicating questions. The program processes and displays test results. The test can be done in simple word processor and contain any number of questions. It can insert HTML-tags of text formatting, any symbols and pictures inside the questions. The complexity of the question and the time of testing are determined by the lecturer in different ways, taking into account the level of the student's preparation. After testing the user is allowed to know test results and get detailed recommen-dations for further study of the subject. Test results are saved in an Excel file, so one can trace the dynamics of the students’ knowledge. The diagram of the transition of the program control focus is given. The scheme of interaction of components and services of LMS Moodle using the developed program module "Test" is also presented.

Keywords: program module, testing, object-oriented programming, quality of the educational process, distance education.
