PureTest allows users to conduct tests, generate results reports, and perform shift analyses while the iPad is offline. This is so users can perform their daily testing routines at sites that may have limited or no internet access.
While using PureTest offline, you can only perform shift analyses on subjects that have been placed into offline-enabled projects. To enable offline testing, an admin user from your organization will need to use the SHOEBOX web portal to make your projects available for offline use.
| Note: Only admin users can create projects and control which projects can be made available for offline testing. |
In this article:
Preparing for offline testing
Contact your admin user, and inform them that your projects will need to be made available offline
While online, go to the Settings screen, and under Testing select Testing Offline
-
Tap on Download
to download any projects that have been made available offline
Note: Do not navigate away from the app until the download is complete. You will know the download is complete when the last downloaded date updates to your present day & present time, and there is a green checkmark indicating that there were no errors.
While still online, return to the Settings page, and under Testing select Download Device Settings
Tap on Download
to ensure that your app is configured with your organization’s most up-to-date test settings before going offline. Just like in Step 3, do not navigate away from the app until the download is complete.
You will then be ready to proceed with PureTest in offline mode.
| Note: While online, the app will automatically get the most up-to-date offline projects and device settings every hour. The steps above are to ensure you have the most up-to-date settings before you go offline. |
Performing a testing session while offline
While offline, you can proceed with your daily testing routine as you would normally.
Start with your test prep activities, then search for and select a test subject as you normally would. You will be able to search for and select test subjects that have been placed in the offline-marked projects that you downloaded.
After your offline session
After your offline testing session has been completed, be sure to return to an area with internet access and reconnect PureTest. This will allow PureTest to automatically sync the testing data you collected while you were offline to your organization’s secure cloud portal.
