Research Abstract	The aim of the present research was to resolve the fundamental problems concerning to the development of the computer networking test system. We applyed the Bayesian statistical theory for the item-response test theory to obtain the several parameters such as the potential ability of the person being tested and the difficulty of the problem. It was confirmed that such parameters are accurately predicted using our treatment. We considered the problems occurred in the introducing the test-system in the computer network. We discussed the test containing the multi-media data such as sound or movies. The information high-way is required for the transportation of the multi-media test.
