Principles of assessment
If you Google principles of assessment, you'd find a multitude of sources listing varying numbers of "principles".

A very good resource, Getting started with student assessment, includes twelve principles of effective assessment as identified by the Australian Universities Teaching Committee (AUTC). You can download a pdf version of the resource, which lists the twelve principles on the first page as well as providing explanations of each principle on the pages that follow.
