Clear local data and retest

Remove session context, then prove that a fresh independent check still works.

For supervisors

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Clear local data and retest

  1. Clear the browser session

    Clear the browser session.

    Clear removes captures, expectations, imported test context and device notes, and returns to the start screen. It does not delete downloaded files from the computer.

  2. Start capture in the focused box

    Start capture in the focused box.

    Start capture explicitly. Only this box collects keyboard input. These keystrokes are simulated; the course does not measure a physical scanner.

  3. Scan a value with leading zeroes

    Scan a value with leading zeroes.

    The six-character value remains text. Leading zeroes must survive unchanged; capture duration includes waiting and browser delivery.

  4. Inspect what arrived

    Inspect what arrived.

    Step 2 shows exactly what arrived, in quotes, with hidden characters shown as codes. Leaving step 1 pauses capture.

  5. Compare with the known encoded value

    Compare with the known encoded value.

    Use an independently known value. Copying a capture into the expectation would only prove that it matches itself. Exact match preserves every character.
