The TestNav System Requirement Policy aligns TestNav system requirements with manufacturer-supported operating systems (OSs) and devices. Districts should review the policy annually to plan purchasing for the next school year.
This best practice ensures that all district personnel and students experience efficient and reliable testing sessions.
Technology personnel should evaluate manufacturer support to determine whether they should purchase new devices for each upcoming school year.
For example, using the TestNav System Requirement Policy, districts can deduce upcoming support for the 2020-21 school year to be the following:
| OS | Supported Versions (2020-2021) |
|---|---|
| OS X/macOS | 10.13, 10.14, 10.15 |
| iOS | 12, 13 |
| Chrome OS | Chrome OS 84 |
| Windows | Windows 10, version 1803 Windows 10, version 1809 Windows 10, version 1903 Windows 10, version 1909 |
| Linux | Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit) |
| Android (pending resolution with Google) | 9, 10 |
District personnel should bookmark and familiarize themselves with this policy to purchase and prepare devices every school year.
