Technology has moved to the heart of testing. Even if an exam is administered on paper and pencil, software is still used to register students/candidates, process results, track certification logic, and update gradebooks (among other things). Given the amount of software available, understanding the needs of your testing organization can be tricky.

In this presentation we'll isolate the primary and secondary technology components behind the scenes and explore how they work together to form experiences for test takers, teachers, admins, and other users. How these platforms work together in automated ways is often the difference between a seamless exam-taking experience and a catastrophic headline on the front page a newspaper.

Every testing program has different needs. To put together the best user experience for test takers and test administrators, a testing organization needs to match those needs with the available platforms.

This snapshot presentation will hyper focus into each technology component and strip away the mysteries, reveling a clear path for your testing program to find the best software solutions available.
