This paper describes implementation of a web-based system for testing and self-assessment implemented with open technologies. All standard testing parameters can easily be adjusted so the system can be used for many different purposes. Importance of web-based applications is directly connected with the fact that clients' side is free of any additional software installation. Programming technique is more complicated, but final results are more robust and useful. There are enough free software tools to implement almost any such system. The advantages of open technologies are well known and the target platform can be Linux, as well as Windows. Using different algorithms we can achieve client-server communication with a relatively few web pages and JAVA applications. The ability to update and maintain web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for popularity of such applications. The system was tested and proved to be reliable and comfortable to use.
