Ensure Smooth Remote Assessments with Testlify System Requirement Check
In remote hiring and assessment scenarios, it’s critical to ensure candidates’ devices meet the minimum system requirements for a smooth testing experience. Testlify’s System Requirement Check provides an automated way to verify hardware and software compatibility, helping organizations avoid technical disruptions during assessments.
Why Implement a System Requirement Check?
As remote assessments become increasingly common, verifying that candidates’ devices meet the necessary specifications is essential. The Testlify System Requirement Check ensures that candidates have the appropriate hardware, software, and network capabilities to complete assessments without technical issues, delivering a fair and accurate evaluation of their skills.
How It Works
The System Requirement Check in Testlify is simple and effective, guiding candidates through a quick diagnostic before they begin their assessment.
1. Set Requirements
Assessment creators can define minimum system requirements in the assessment settings. Components such as operating system, processor, RAM, and network connectivity can be set using pre-defined or custom benchmarks. This ensures that candidates’ systems are capable of handling the assessment smoothly.
2. Candidate System Checker
Once the requirements are set, candidates are prompted to download the System Checker application after completing the registration or honesty agreement. The System Checker performs an automated diagnostic of the candidate’s system, comparing it against the defined requirements.
- The tool runs on all major platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux).
- It securely collects only system specifications needed to evaluate compatibility.
The file includes a unique license code to map results to the candidate’s session.
3. Results and Reporting
After the check is complete, candidates receive confirmation if their system meets the requirements, or a notification if it does not. The assessment continues only if all minimum requirements are met.
- The candidate can retry the check if it fails.
- Results are displayed in a clear report with pass/fail status for each component.
Troubleshooting guidance is available via a “Learn More” modal for any failed components.
