In 1996, shortly after the founding of The Cochrane Collaboration, leading figures in test evaluation research established a Methods Group to focus on the relatively new and rapidly evolving methods for the systematic review of studies of diagnostic tests. Seven years later, the Collaboration decided it was time to develop a publication format and methodology for Diagnostic Test Accuracy (DTA) reviews, as well as the software needed to implement these reviews in The Cochrane Library. A meeting hosted by the German Cochrane Centre in 2004 brought together key methodologists in the area, many of whom became closely involved in the subsequent development of the methodological framework for DTA reviews. DTA reviews first appeared in The Cochrane Library in 2008 and are now an integral part of the work of the Collaboration.
1996年，在考克兰协作网成立后不久，测试评估研究领域的领军人物成立了一个方法学小组，专注于诊断性试验研究系统评价中相对较新且发展迅速的方法。七年后，协作网决定是时候开发一种用于诊断试验准确性（DTA）评价的出版格式和方法，以及在考克兰图书馆实施这些评价所需的软件。2004年由德国考克兰中心主办的一次会议汇聚了该领域的关键方法学家，他们中的许多人在随后DTA评价方法框架的开发中发挥了密切作用。DTA评价于2008年首次出现在考克兰图书馆，如今已成为协作网工作不可或缺的一部分。
