Here are the primary websites and their uses in the ExamTools Ecosystem
Websites
There are many websites in the ExamTools environment. They are broken into three primary categories
- Production Environment - Use these websites for live test sessions that are intended to be submitted to your VEC.
- Sandbox / Training Environment - For training new VEs or troubleshooting and experimenting with known and suspected issues. This environment runs on a database that is isolated from production. You will need a separate login to use this site.
- Development - Both the Production and Sandbox / Training Environments have development stages. These sites are used for testing new features and bugfixes. In all cases, expect unexpected results.
