This page pertains to ONLY Vermont and pilot programs using ADAM for their assessment management system and ChromeOS devices to deliver tests.

• ADAM users using web extensions (Co:Writer or Read&Write) must use the TN app. See Set Up TestNav on ADAM and ChromeOS - TN App Setup.
• ADAM users testing without web extensions can use either the TestNav PWA or the TN app for testing.

Progressive web apps (PWAs) are web applications that use progressive enhancements. Users can open PWAs from the user’s home screen. PWAs run in a standalone window, and users see the same TestNav user interface (UI).

Pearson supports only managed Chromebooks for secure testing. Both before you install TestNav AND prior to each testing session, you should check each device to ensure it is in managed status. 

Install TestNav PWA

To install TestNav PWA , first ensure each device's settings are set to keep local data to avoid accidentally deleting the SRF and log files. Then, you add TestNav as a kiosk app.
