Direct Testing (Completely Bypassing a Portal)

Given the browser-driven nature of ClicFlic IMOs, it is sometimes preferable to completely bypass the testing portal when administering an assessment. This enables HR Avatar to administer tests directly on customer's websites, if they want to do it that way. The IMO will still report everything to the testing system and the results will be handled exactly as if a testing portal would be used. But all access is controlled by the customer and there is no pin code or anything.

Velocity Performance uses this approach.

Configuring a SIM for Direct Testing
  
The IMO is embedded in the customer webpage exactly as if it were a hosted IMO with ClicFlic, except:

• There is a 'direct test code' parameter added to the IMO parameters. This code is Sim and Org specific, and can be obtained via the SimBuilder website.
  
• The Sim IMO must collect name/email information and this must be included in the result XML using the name and email field identifiers. 
  
• The customer must include a unique xref value for the test event in the parameters, otherwise there will be no restart capability if the person abandons in the middle and restarts. Without a unique xref value, the system will treat all starts as new starts and the restarting test taker will have to start over.
