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.
