Özet: This paper proposes the development of a technological platform for support of psycho-technical tests in higher education institutions. This subject deals with a topic extremely important for the institution and for students, because the platform will serve internally to assist students in preparing them for the professional life. The application is web hosted and exclusively built using open source technologies. The application allows teachers to create new psycho-technical tests in various technical and scientific fields. Each psycho-technical test is composed of several multiple-choice questions, and the teacher may specify the list of alternative answers and indicate a maximum response time for each question. For its part, the students can visualise the list of psycho-technical tests available organised by subject. The platform registers the performance of students in several domains and allows students to practice and improve their skills. In this way, students may be better prepared for job interviews and, consequently, for the job market.
