Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a processing device of a client device from an external storage device, an operating system image, the operating system image to provide a testing environment for the client device; loading the operating system image into memory of the client device; and providing, by the processor of the client device, testing information via the testing environment.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing device of a client device from an external storage device, an operating system image, the operating system image to provide a testing environment for the client device, wherein the testing environment comprises a live operating system environment with resource access restrictions to prevent access to resources that are not associated with an examination;
- loading the operating system image into memory of the client device;
- and
- providing, by the processing device of the client device, testing information via the testing environment after loading the operating system image into memory of the client device.

A system comprising:
- a memory to store an operating system image;
- and
- a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
- retrieve the operating system image from an external storage device;
- boot the operating system image into the memory, the operating system image to provide a live testing environment, wherein the live testing environment comprises resource access restrictions to prevent access to computing resources that are not associated with an examination;
- retrieve testing information from a testing server;
- and
- provide the testing information via the live testing environment of the operating system image after the boot of the operating system image into memory.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- request access to an operating system image stored on an external storage device;
- receive, by the processing device, the operating system image from the external storage device, the operating system image comprising a live testing environment, wherein the live testing environment comprises resource access restrictions to prevent access to computing resources that are not associated with an examination;
- boot the operating system image into a memory associated with the processing device;
- and
- provide, by the processing device, testing information via the live testing environment after the boot of the operating system image into the memory.
