TEST SETUP:  A record of the Assistive Technology systems, hardware and software, used during tests and assessment.
Test Setup

The test setup contains information about the user, his/her work environment, and the equipment and settings used. Specifying a test setup is optional. This information is used to track how typing speed and accuracy varies with different keyboards, hardware, software setup, etc. This feature is typically used by educators and therapists to determine the best work environment for a student or client.

Each time the user takes a test or exercise, the current test setup is recorded along with the test or exercise results. When the test setup is changed, the new information is automatically recorded in new tests/exercises taken. Using the detailed exercise report, it is possible to directly compare typing performance for the different test setups used.

The following is a screen shot from the web site showing all of the test setup options:
