workstation used for delivering tests to students. The chart
below lists the pros and cons of a local install versus a server-based
install of TestNav. If you have any questions regarding what
may be best for your school, please call technical support at

Local vs Server-based Installation of TestNav
| Pros |
Cons |
| Local |
- Provides quicker launch time
- Eliminates server as potential point of failure
- Reduces LAN traffic
|
- Increases installation time
(Note: System automation tools, such as SMS (Windows)
and Apple Remote Desktop (Mac) can make local installs much easier)
- Requires that configuration changes be made on each machine
|
| Server |
- Provides single-point of installation and configuration changes
- Makes it easier to implement in a large-scale testing environment
- Provides centralized location for log files
|
- Adds a potential point of failure
- Increases LAN traffic as code is downloaded from server to client
|
(Refer to section 9.0 in the Infrastructure Guidelines for more details) Pearson
recommends that whenever possible, TestNav be installed on a
file server within your LAN environment and shortcuts to TestNav
be placed on each workstation.
