Upcoming Support Changes
Pearson aligns support requirements with changing technologies. 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.
The requirements in this section reflect TestNav minimum requirements; however, some customers slightly vary requirements for their specific organizations.
Refer to the requirements on this page to set up browser-based TestNav or installable TestNav.
