1 New Features and Improvements

This month, in addition to some bug fixes and user navigation improvements, we're launching a fresh set of anti-cheat tools.

1.1 Anti-Cheat Tools

Candidates are more resourceful than ever, and that makes it harder to get a clear picture of their true abilities. It’s important to have accurate, trustworthy assessment results to guide hiring decisions. That’s why we developed a new suite of anti-cheat measures.

Clients on the Growth and Scale packages will now have access to a new set of Anti-Cheat Tools. The tier includes preventive features such as: closing open tabs, and blocking the opening of new tabs, enforcing single-screen use, disabling printing, downloads, right-click, clearing cache, and additionally requires assessments to be taken in full-screen mode.

These protections create a more controlled testing environment, which ultimately leads to more authentic, reliable results.

1.2 Practice Typing Question Enhancement within Test Instructions

Resolved an issue where candidates could unintentionally start an assessment directly from the practice typing question within the Instruction page with an implementation of an improvement to the practice typing question flow – now the interface will only show the ‘End practice’ option, returning candidates to the Instruction page and preventing accidental test starts.

1.3 New Gear Icon in Assessment Settings

Implemented an improvement by adding a gear icon to Assessment Settings, providing a visual cue to help users notice and access the settings more easily.

2 Corrections

Type Explanation
Unbroken text fix Resolved an issue where very long strings of unbroken text (e.g., file paths or IDs in Free Response questions) caused distortion in the Author preview and Test Taker interface by stretching beyond the normal layout.
Unanswered voice/video questions Resolved an issue where unanswered voice and video questions incorrectly displayed “Download here your voice and video question” in reports.
Read-only fix Resolved an issue where Read-Only users could create assessment using the “Copy” feature.
Read-only fix Resolved an issue where Read-Only user could create an assessment using the “Combine Skills Assessment" feature.
Read-only fix Resolved an issue where Read-Only user could create assessments even if the button was disabled by manually adding the path in the URL.
Time zone fix Resolved an issue where the time zone under Assessment Settings > Activation and Expiration Date was incorrectly labeled for Regina (showing GMT-5 instead of GMT-6). The time will now correctly reflect Saskatchewan’s unique observance of Central Standard Time (no daylight saving).
Team Scoring image fix Resolved an issue where images uploaded to Team Scoring questions appeared incorrectly.
