Excerpt

Run SystemCheck to plan for capacity during your test administration setup. SystemCheck evaluateschecks your system and testing capacity when you click each tab:

  • Your network to estimate testing capacity and determine the optimal number of proctor caching computers.
  • Every Check Your System - This checks every computer in a testing lab to verify supported operating systems, browsers, and Java versions are installed. Only check your system after you have reviewed and implemented hardware and software requirements.
  • Testing capacity - This checks data transfer speeds and provides an estimated number of concurrent testers that the testing environment can support in real time. 

    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. You can add multiple proctor caching computers or delete a proctor caching computer through SystemCheck (instructions below).

    When you configure multiple proctor caching computers for use, do not combine SystemCheck results. The tool assesses the number of testing computers the same Internet connection can handle.
     

Note

This result may not accurately represent the actual transfer speeds during student testing, especially if you significantly change network conditions.

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 System (Client-side readiness)
  1. Select your program from the drop-down menu.

titleCheck Your Testing Capacity (Network readiness)

After you check your system:

  1. Click the Testing Capacity tab, and click Start.
  2. The fields display any proctor caching computers you have designated, test progress, download speed, and estimated testing capacity
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
  1. .
  2. 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.
  1. , 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.

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.
