title | Check Your Testing Capacity (Network readiness) |
---|
| The Testing Capacity check assesses real-time speed and measures how many testing computers your proctor-caching machine can handle. If you are using ProctorCache, it also checks connectivity from the server to the ProctorCache computer. You can add multiple ProctorCache computers or delete a ProctorCache computer. The Testing Capacity check provides the data transfer speeds and an estimated number of concurrent testers that could be supported at that time. However, this result may not accurately represent the actual transfer speeds during student testing, especially if network conditions will be significantly different. The ProctorCache computer must be installed and running before you can check the connection speed. When you have multiple proctor caching computers configured for use, the results are not combined. The tool assumes that all of the ProctorCache machines will use the same Internet connection. | Click here to view a screenshot... |

After you check your system: - Click the Testing Capacity tab, and click Start.
- The fields display any proctor caching computers you have designated, test progress, download speed, and estimated testing capacity.
- You can add, edit, or delete proctor caching computers using the instructions for each below.
Remember, if you are using ProctorCache, you must install it and run it on the proctor caching computer before you can check its connection speed and how many testing computers it can handle. |
