1. A computer-implemented method for computer based testing for at least one test executed by a computer, the computer-implemented method comprising: defining computer based test data content in at least two memory locations wherein a first memory location stores identification and initialization data for a plugin element and a second memory location stores information that defines actual usage of the plugin element on at least one unit of the at least one test; and amalgamating the test data content defined in the at least two memory locations by at least one test driver executed by the computer such that the data content exists virtually as one storage location even though the data content resides at different locations comprising the at least two memory locations and delivering the at least one test to an examinee, and wherein the amalgamating further comprises amalgamating the data content to exist virtually by at least one of embedding the data content as an object and linking the data content with a pointer.

The method of claim 1 , wherein the test driver is an executable program that creates and delivers the at least one computer based test and the plugin element expands the functionality of the test driver.
