LeST + Test Log now available
We have two major updates to the new Motif platform today!
The LeST is now available online, in the new Motif platform
You’ll be able to run LeST tests similarly to the CC2 experience, and purchase LeST results sheets online too. We have submitted the LeST iOS app to Apple, so hope to have this available for everyone soon, mimicking the CC2.
We will provide a 14-day crossover period in which we will allow the free test to continue to be used along-side the newly available paid test. March 3rd will be the last day you’ll be able to run free LeST tests on the volunteer site.
LeST iOS app
Shortly after releasing the updated web app, we hope to release the LeST iOS app. It will be similar to the CC2 iOS app in it’s functionality. You’ll be able to purchase test sessions through the app, and run test sessions on the app. Like the CC2, tests will now be saved to the Motif servers, and available in the Test Log on the web app.
The test log is back
The test log stores results, without storing Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
With the test log, you’ll be able to look back at past tests, once you update your CC2 app, or refresh the web app. This mimics the test log you’d be familiar with in the volunteer system. All test types appear in the one list, and you can see results sheets chronologically.
We take privacy very seriously, and don’t want to store as little as possible. So we have implemented a new “Subject Code” field when entering subject details. This allows you to include a reference to a system you already use to track your subjects, for future use in mapping a past test to a subject.
We collect “Subject Name” and Tester Name” to be able to print a nice report at the end of the test session, but we do not store those fields on the Motif servers, so they are cleared once you move onto another test session.
We aim to have “Subject Code” appear on Mobile and Web from the same date, and any time you see it, you know this test will be stored, and be accessible when we release the Test Log shortly.
To achieve consistency across platforms, we have had to update the CC2 mobile app to talk to the internet and store results in the cloud. This means you can run a test on your desktop, then run a test on your iPad, and still have the results sheets in one Test Log. The test log will not be available in the iOS app.
Note: you’ll need to maintain device connectivity during the test, now that they’re stored online. We are very keen to hear feedback about whether this introduces challenges, and whether we should look at allowing an offline-mode for running a test.
This brings us very close to completing Stage 2 of our transition plan.
