Computer test used in diagnostic: apt challenge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

captcha

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'computer test' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'in diagnostic apt challenge' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'CAPTCHA' is hidden in the letters of 'diagnostic apt challenge'.

'used' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for captcha that I've seen is " E-security feature".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
