Performing Platform Review

Once an item or stimulus is web-approved, users can perform platform review to ensure that it works as expected on all supported platforms.

The platform review process consists of the following phases:

1. Batching: A Platform Review Administrator submits the item or stimulus for review as part of a batch. A batch is a set of items/stimuli, typically ones that are similar to each other; for example, they may all be intended for the same subject and grade. The admin sets the platforms and accommodations that need to be tested. Then they can either assign the batch to particular Platform Review - Temp Users, or make it available to all users with that role.

2. Testing: Platform Review - Temp Users test the item or stimulus on the required platforms with the required accommodations. Different Temp Users may have access to different platforms.

   • When Temp Users determine that an item or stimulus works correctly across all required accommodations and platforms, the entity passes platform review, ending the process.

   • However, if any Temp User determines that an item or stimulus has failed in some regard, it is not moved to a new status, and the batch is not completed.

3. Further Review: If an item or stimulus has failed Temp User review in some regard, it requires further review by a Platform Review - PR Reviewer (or by a Platform Review Administrator or another high-level administrator). This user can view the item or stimulus’s whole review history and choose a resolution. The item or stimulus may be approved, thus passing platform review, or may be moved into the Platform Review Failed-Triage status.
