As online computer assisted assessment (CAA) is adopted throughout education, the number of CAA systems proliferates. While a number of commercial systems are gaining in sophistication, no single package is universally appropriate. For those implementing online assessment, selecting appropriate systems or indeed building them, it may be helpful to consider the "ultimate" online CAA system. This combination of web server software, middleware and database package does everything required of it for all possible users of the system. In this paper we take a step back from developments and re-evaluate the requirements of CAA systems for users with 21 possible roles. These user requirements are then mapped onto two leading online assessment systems to analyse how close we are to achieving the "ultimate" CAA system.
