Run SystemCheck on every testing device to plan for capacity during your test administration setup. SystemCheck evaluates both the device's operating system for testing readiness, as well as your network to estimate testing capacity when you click each tab:
  • Check Your System - This checks the device in a testing lab to verify the supported operating system on the device. 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. 
    • You can run the Testing Capacity check with or without using ProctorCache. You can test capacity without ProctorCache and then, after you install ProctorCache, test again to evaluate the difference in testing capacity. 
    •  If you do use ProctorCache, you must install it and run it on the proctor caching computer before you can check its connection speed and how many testing devices 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.

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. Use the same URL for TestNav installable apps and browser-based TestNav. 

 Then, follow the instructions for each below:
 

  1. Select your program from the drop-down menu.
  2. Click Start.
  3. Click the Check Your System tab, and click Start.
    1. Passing systems display a green checkmark (√) and All Checks Passed at the top of the screen.
    2. Failing systems display a red x next to the failing component.
  4. To print the results or save a PDF, click Print Friendly.

After you check your system:

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

  1. Click the Testing Capacity tab.
  2.  Click + Add Caching Computer, enter the details, and then click Save.
    • Display Name – appears as the computer name in the Server/Computer column
    • Host – the IP address of the ProctorCache machine
    • Port – the port on which the caching computer is running 

1. Click the Testing Capacity tab.
2. Click the computer name.
3. Edit the host name or port, and then click Save. 

1. Click the Testing Capacity tab.
2. Click the computer you want to delete.
3. Click Delete Caching Computer, and then click Continue.
