Set Up Java
To prevent students from accessing other programs during secure testing, TestNav uses a Java applet within the browser to enter full screen.
You do not need Java installed when you use TestNav installable apps, as TestNav apps are NOT browser-based.
Install and Enable Java
If a testing computer does not have Java installed, you must install and configure it to use TestNav. Download the latest supported version of Java, and follow the installation instructions.
Allow TestNav Java Applet to Run
The first time you launch TestNav and TestNav SystemCheck, you must permit the TestNav Java applet to run. Browsers require this action to successfully run TestNav SystemCheck and to launch TestNav.
Users that do not accept the security certificates will see an error message. These users must close the browser entirely and complete the update before they can use TestNav and SystemCheck.
If the screen below appears when the TestNav or TestNav SystemCheck java applet attempts to download:
- Select the Do not show this again for apps from the publisher and location above check box.
- Click the Run button to continue to TestNav and TestNav SystemCheck. This ensures that the warning screen will not appear again.
