Virtual Environments Some customers successfully use virtualization/thin clients; however, Pearson does not provide support for these technologies.  Those using these technologies are responsible for their virtualized environment security and performance.  Prior to high-stakes testing, customers should compare virtual environment performance to that of a non-virtual environment.

Upcoming Support Changes

Pearson aligns support requirements with changing technologies. See the TestNav System Requirement Policy for details.

When updates are released, Pearson first tests a beta version and reports bugs to developers. When the final version is publicly released, Pearson also tests this version to ensure TestNav compatibility before supporting it. When hardware or software deprecates, Pearson drops support for it.

TestNav App Update General Info

Customers may take app releases at varying times, depending on testing sessions. Methods for app updates vary by app and OS.
