The computer-oriented methodology of assessing the quality of tests in higher mathematicsis developed. The criteria of teachers’ competence concerning the quality of tests in higher mathematics are defined. The model and technology of teachers' competence concerning the quality of tests in higher mathematics, the curriculum "Development of the teachers’ competence concerning the quality of tests in higher mathematics" for the advanced training course of scientific and pedagogical workers and the corresponding distance course are developed. The general results of the pedagogical experiment gives evidences to confirm that the introduction of the computer-oriented methodology for assessing the quality of tests in higher mathematics will promote the development of teachers' competence concerning the quality of tests in higher mathematics and improving controls of students' knowledge.
