%X this paper aims at showing the constraints and benefits both from an institutional and the test user¡¯s perspectives of automatizing the diploma in spanish as a foreign language (dele). the article addresses computational and language issues such as web design, language use realities and, overall, it proves the need to implement such a project. it also shows that whether the dele exam is to put into functioning, it needs to satisfy these three areas: design, language scope and technology improvement and adequacy. in this sense, the implementation of a computer based test may be seen as a beneficial tool that permits to evaluate the four traditional skills plus language use more efficiently than the current pencil & paper system.
