Read what the conceptors of the software Hot Potatoes wrote in 2000.

We state very clearly in our documentation that Hot Potatoes is not a testing tool. In our user feedback, though, we have been consistently surprised by the number of people who request some kind of ‘secure testing’, password protection, or the encryption of answers in source code. It has become clear that a large segment of users cannot or do not distinguish between testing and self-access learning materials. This is unfortunate. Even if a ‘secure testing’ solution is implemented, there is no way to know who is sitting at the client computer taking a particular test, unless someone is present to verify identity. This also implies that online education is perhaps too frequently equated with testing. One result of this may be the prevalence of ‘interactive’ quiz exercises available on the Web in which feedback consists merely of ‘Correct!’ or ‘Wrong!’ responses, rather than useful hints or diagnostic help.
