Abstract: 

The encoding format for assessment items supported by the SmarterApp assessment suite. This version is the final draft and contains complete information about all Smarter Balanced assessment item types. Nevertheless, this draft has not yet been approved and remains subject to change. Note that this is one of two formats that will be exportable from the item bank. For details, see the Smarter Balanced Assessment Item Format Brief.

As of Fall 2018 the Smarter Balanced Test Delivery System (TDS) is no longer supported.

The code base and documentation for the TDS is available within the Smarter Balanced GitHub repository.
