The Platform at a Glance

TestInvite is a cloud-based online assessment platform designed for organizations that need to evaluate people at scale. Whether you are screening job applicants, certifying professionals, running entrance examinations, or measuring training outcomes, TestInvite gives you a single environment to build tests, run assessments, monitor sessions, and analyze results.

Everything runs in the browser — no software to install on your servers or your candidates' computers. The platform is multi-tenant: each organization gets its own isolated workspace, data, and branding.

The Core Workflow

At the highest level, using TestInvite follows four steps:

1. Build a Test — Create a test and add questions to it. You can add questions directly inside the test, or draw from your Question Bank if you have one. Structure the test into sections, set time limits, and configure scoring.
2. Run an Assessment — Create a Task — the blueprint for your assessment. It defines who can participate, when, under what proctoring conditions, and what steps candidates will go through. Invite candidates and the assessment begins.
3. Invite Candidates — Send candidates an invitation link by email or share a direct URL. They authenticate and go through their assessment in the browser. The platform records every answer in real time.
4. View Results — Once assessments are submitted, results are instantly available. View individual score reports, aggregate analytics, per-dimension breakdowns, and export data for reporting.

Who Uses TestInvite?

• Corporate L&D Departments — Skills gap analysis, compliance training assessments, and ongoing competency measurement across teams.

Key Concepts

Before diving into the platform, it helps to understand the following terms. They appear throughout this guide and inside the application itself.

Organization

Your Organization is your private workspace on TestInvite. All data — questions, tests, candidates, results — belongs to a single organization. You can invite teammates to collaborate within your organization, each with a specific role that controls what they can see and do.

Test

A Test is a template that defines a set of questions, their structure (sections and pages), timing, navigation rules, and scoring logic. A Test by itself is not delivered to candidates — it is run through a Task.

Question Bank

The Question Bank is your organization’s library of reusable questions. You can add questions directly inside a test without using the bank, but storing questions in the bank is the recommended approach — it makes reuse, organization, and reporting much easier as your library grows.

Task

A Task is the blueprint for an assessment. It defines how the evaluation is structured and delivered — which tests are included, with what access rules, proctoring settings, and candidate-facing steps. When you invite candidates to a Task, each candidate goes through an Assessment based on that blueprint.

Assessment

An Assessment is the complete evaluation process a candidate goes through within a Task. It may consist of one or many individual test sessions, depending on how the Task is configured. The Assessment is what the candidate experiences from start to finish — instructions, checks, testings, and the final result.

Candidate

A Candidate is any person who participates in an Assessment. Candidates can be invited by email, given a direct link, or registered in advance. Their profile stores their full assessment history and results within your organization.

Credits

Credits are the unit of consumption on TestInvite. One credit is consumed each time a candidate starts a test session within an Assessment. Credits are purchased as part of your subscription plan or as top-up packages. Your organization has a system-level credit pool; individual tests can also be allocated a separate credit budget to prevent over-use.

If you are evaluating TestInvite, your trial account comes with a set of free credits so you can experience the full candidate journey end-to-end before purchasing.
