Excerpt

Run SystemCheck to plan for capacity during your test administration setup. SystemCheck evaluates:

  • Your network to estimate testing capacity and determine the optimal number of proctor caching computers.
  • Every computer in a testing lab to verify supported operating systems, browsers, and Java versions are installed. 

If you haven't already downloaded SystemCheck, see your program support page for the link to download. Then follow the instructions for each below:

titleCheck 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.
