However, students still have difficulty learning whole numbers. Student difficulties can be detected through a series of tests.students' abilities and weaknesses can be detected through a series of tests. Cognitive Diagnostic Assessment (CDA) is a form of assessment that can provide detailed information regarding students' abilities and weaknesses so that the result can be used by teachers as a consideration to improve the way they teach. The purpose of this research is to develop diagnostic test questions on integers using the CDA framework. This study uses the Tessmer model. The diagnostic test questions developed were 40 questions with three attributes, namely A1 consists of comparing integers, A2 addition and subtraction of integers, and A3 multiplication and division of integers. The research subjects were 113 seventh-grade students from three junior high schools in the city of Banda Aceh, Indonesia, based on three consideration schools with low, medium, and high categories. Data from the trial results were analyzed using the R package GDINA program. The results showed that all integer items met the valid and reliable criteria for questions on A1, namely 0.9961, A2, namely 0.9954, and A3, namely 0.9976. This problem can be used to measure students' abilities and weaknesses on a wider scale for integer numbers.
