Each of these has a separate dedicated article. This article coveres Inspera Assessment open book test without lockdown browser or proctoring.

Web browsers

Inspera Assessment can be accessed by the two most recent stable versions of the following web browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Apple Safari

The most common browsers are on aggressive release schedules; therefore, the most current version is not explicitly listed. We recommend that you install new versions of the browsers as they are released.

Note that this only defines the recommended browsers. Other browser versions and vendors that follow modern web standards can also be used.

Recommended security measures

All end users (staff and candidates) are subject to their own organization's acceptable IT use policy, but the following is strongly recommended by Inspera:
  • Up-to-date antimalware
  • Activated local firewall
  • Local device encryption
  • Updated and patched Operating Systems and Applications
  • Safely kept user account and password
  • Trusted and secure internet connection
