  3. Overview SystemCheck validates testing workstations meet the minimum system requirements needed to run TestNav7 SystemCheck also provides the ability to run bandwidth speed checks to help plan for online testing capacity SystemCheck estimates the number of concurrent testers that could be supported, at the time check is performed Pearson Customer Support may also use SystemCheck results to assist customers in trouble shooting SystemCheck for TestNav7

  4. Accessing SystemCheck • SystemCheck is an online tool. It is Java based and may require that you run and accept an applet. SystemCheck for TestNav7

  5. SystemCheck Functionality • TestNav 7: • Validates system requirements are met on testing workstations • Network User Capacity: • Bandwidth testing for Internet and proctor caching connections • Volume estimates for capacity planning • Testing Volume Calculator: • Online volume calculator • Modify network links and network utilization sliders as necessary SystemCheck for TestNav7

  6. TestNav 7 • Validates student workstation to ensure that minimum requirements are met Click Print Friendly to save your results Click Startto check the workstation environment Choose System Check SystemCheck for TestNav7

  7. Proctor Caching Introduction • TestNav Proctor Cache is Pearson supplied software that is used in conjunction with TestNav to reduce bandwidth requirements and accelerate the delivery of test content. • Proctor caching is not required, but is strongly recommended. Proctor caching: • allows you to pre-cache test content to your local network before a test; • reduces the burden on your internet service provider (ISP) by eliminating redundancy in request for test content; and • stores an encrypted local copy of all pre-cached tests. 40% tint R175 G180 B213 50% tint R154 G161 B202 60% tint R134 G142 B191 70% tint R114 G123 B181 80% tint R94 G105 B170 90% tint R74 G86 B160 Blue R54 G67 B149 SystemCheck for TestNav7

  9. Proctor Caching Installer • Before SystemCheck can run a speed check on a proctor caching computer, the appropriate Proctor Cache software must be installed and running; installation generally takes less than 5 minutes. • Proctor Cache Installer for Mac • Proctor Cache Installer for PC • Download the appropriate proctor caching software and then: Windows: • Save the file, and then double-click the executable file to open the installer screen. • Click the Runbutton to launch the installer, and then use the wizard to continue installing proctor caching. 40% tint R175 G180 B213 50% tint R154 G161 B202 60% tint R134 G142 B191 70% tint R114 G123 B181 80% tint R94 G105 B170 90% tint R74 G86 B160 • Mac: • Save the file, and then double-click the ZIP file, and then double-click the application to open the installer screen. • Click the Openbutton to launch the installer, and then use the wizard to continue installing proctor caching.

  10. Monitor Proctor Caching • To verify that TestNav Proctor Cache is running, enter the following address into your Web browser: http://xx.xx.xx.x:4480 (x characters represent numbers from your proctor caching computer IP address). If proctor cache is not running, an error screen will appear. 40% tint R175 G180 B213 50% tint R154 G161 B202 60% tint R134 G142 B191 70% tint R114 G123 B181 80% tint R94 G105 B170 90% tint R74 G86 B160 Blue R54 G67 B149 SystemCheck for TestNav7

  11. Network User Capacity • Tests internet bandwidth between the workstation and Pearson’s servers • To gather realistic results, SystemCheck should be run from a student testing machine on the same day of week/time of day as when you anticipate performing online testing • Click Add Caching Computer to add your potential proctor caching machine for a local network bandwidth test 40% tint R175 G180 B213 50% tint R154 G161 B202 60% tint R134 G142 B191 70% tint R114 G123 B181 80% tint R94 G105 B170 90% tint R74 G86 B160 Blue R54 G67 B149 SystemCheck for TestNav7

  12. Add Caching Computer • Add a name for the caching computer, the host IP address, and port (4480) • Can add multiple proctor caching computers by repeating these steps 40% tint R175 G180 B213 50% tint R154 G161 B202 60% tint R134 G142 B191 70% tint R114 G123 B181 80% tint R94 G105 B170 90% tint R74 G86 B160 Blue R54 G67 B149 SystemCheck for TestNav7

  13. Network User Capacity Results • Click on Startto begin the test • Onscreen information helps determine whether the connection was successful or not Click Startto run the speed check Click to see onscreen information SystemCheck for TestNav7

  14. Network User Capacity Results • Based on the bandwidth test, SystemCheck can provide an estimated number of students that can test concurrently Choose System Check SystemCheck for TestNav7
