Since many teachers use “book tests” (and I don’t have a problem with that), the book publishers may need to “help” by providing 2 or 3 “versions” of each chapter’s test. However, I would be hesitant to give lots of different questions on each version – then there will be arguments regarding who got the “harder” test. Also, curving tests that had different questions would be more difficult. (I would have no problem with publishers providing different versions so that a teacher can vary her tests year to year (to avoid the cheating method of saving tests so younger sibs can see the test that they will get next year).

I think I am more in favor of “scrambling” the questions so that it would be difficult for another student to find an answer on another’s paper.
