A demo test is designed for open practice: candidates can access it multiple times, and their answers are not stored.
Note: A standard demo test in Inspera is typically created as an open access familiarisation test. If your goal is specifically to demonstrate IIB with proctoring or lockdown behaviour, you must also enable the relevant security settings in the test setup.
Before you start
You need access to the Deliver module.
You must have extended access to create demo tests.
You need a prepared Question Set.
If the demo should run in IIB, make sure IIB is installed on the device you will use for testing.
Note: If you are creating a simple public familiarisation demo, security settings can be left blank. If you are creating an IIB-specific demo, enable IIB in the test security configuration.
What a demo test does
Feature | How demo tests behave |
| Access | Can be opened directly by URL without candidate login when Public Access is enabled |
| Attempts | Can be taken as many times as needed |
| Answers | Responses are not stored |
| Assessment | No marking or assessment settings are required |
| Candidate experience | Used for practice and familiarisation before a real exam |
Steps to create the demo test
Open Inspera Assessment and go to the Deliver module.
Select Create New Test.
Choose Demo as the test type.
Complete the core setup fields:
Name
Question Set
Start Time
End Time
Configure the test depending on the type of demo you want:
For a basic open familiarisation test, leave Security settings blank.
For an IIB demo, go to Security options and enable Safe Exam Browser for PC and Mac > Advanced options > Enable Inspera Integrity Browser.
If using IIB, set the required passwords:
Invigilator Password
SEB Password
If using IIB for a demonstration, set the Security Policy to Open when a low-friction demo experience is preferred.
Enable Public Access so users can open the demo without logging in.
Optional: enable Redirect to URL if you want users sent to another page after finishing. If this is not enabled, users can restart the demo test.
Apply any required Design Settings. These affect how the questions appear to the candidate.
Skip Assessment Settings, since demo tests are not marked.
Select Activate Test.
Copy the generated URL shown at the top of the page and use it to launch or share the demo.
Recommended setup for an IIB demo
| Setting | Recommendation for demo use |
Test type | Demo |
Public Access | Enabled |
IIB | Enabled if you want to demonstrate lockdown browser behaviour |
Invigilator / SEB passwords | Use simple values for internal demo purposes |
Security Policy | Open |
Assessment Settings | Not required |
Optional: add proctoring to the demo
If the purpose of the demo is to show both IIB and Inspera Resilience Proctoring (IRP), you can enable proctoring in addition to IIB. This is optional and demo tests can be setup with or without Proctoring activated.
Enable Inspera Integrity Browser first
Then enable Inspera Resilience Proctoring
Select the relevant options, such as Audio, Video, Room, and Screen
If needed, enable ID verification
Steps to take a demo test from the candidate side
