Testing Session Details and Instructions for Students and Proctors

Follow the instructions below based on the configuration you are testing.

 Configuration with Secondary Camera

Testing Details

• This configuration focuses on testing the feature that shows a 360-degree view during proctoring.
• It requires connecting the mobile camera via a QR code.

Preconditions for Testing

• QR code reader on a mobile device.
• Mobile internet or a Wi-Fi Connection on a mobile device.
• A vertical stand for a mobile device positioned behind (or next to) a seat for the test-taker.

Testing Workflow

1. Make sure you have a QR code reader on your mobile device.
2. Make sure you have an internet connection on your mobile phone (mobile internet is advisable).
3. Log in using the username and password of the user you assigned to this testing session.
4. Start the “proctored exam” test.
5. Scan the QR code during the equipment check.
6. Follow the instructions on your mobile device to scan the environment and upload the recording.
7. After you have uploaded the environment scan, the recorder on your mobile device will
   automatically start.
8. Position the mobile device on a stand you prepared for it.
9. Complete the equipment check.
10. Start the test. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please stay in the test for at least 7 minutes (preferably 10 minutes)! This will mimic a real-life situation in which the student took some time to do the test, allowing you to analyze the recording properly afterward. Short 1-minute, 2-minute, and 3-minute recordings are inadequate for properly testing this feature!
11. Optionally, do some prohibited actions (make some noise, look away from the screen, etc.).
12. Finish the test.
13. Log out of the system.
14. Log in as a proctor (username: proctor, password: Password for proctor account provided by YouTestMe) and check the AI–generated report. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: In the first minute of the recording, the system is still synchronizing the primary and secondary cameras, so please examine the recording starting from the second minute. From the second minute, the primary and secondary cameras are synchronized. However, please keep in mind that a delay of a few seconds between the videos can still occur, depending on the strength of the internet connection used during the test attempt.
