<![CDATA[The assessment of maharah istima' remains challenging because teachers often rely on conventional evaluation techniques and have limited access to structured digital assessment instruments. This study aimed to develop an Edpuzzle-based Maharah Istima' Test for eighth-grade students at SMP-IT Al-Faruq, Gorontalo City. The study employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model, which comprises analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The developed product integrated animated conversation videos as listening materials, interactive multiple-choice items, test instructions, answer keys, and online assessment through Edpuzzle. The product was evaluated through expert validation, practicality assessment, and psychometric item analysis. Expert validation yielded an average feasibility score of 96.7%, indicating that the product was highly feasible. Item analysis showed that 34 of the 36 items were valid, while the reliability coefficients of the four test packages ranged from 0.744 to 0.829. The difficulty analysis identified 26 easy items and 8 moderately difficult items. The discrimination analysis indicated that most items had adequate discriminating power, while 40 of the 56 distractors functioned effectively. Teacher and student responses produced an overall practicality score of 91.4%, which was categorized as highly practical. These findings indicate that the developed Maharah Istima' Test is highly feasible, practical, and supported by satisfactory empirical item quality for use as a formative assessment instrument within the present trial context.]]>
