Testportal is an online platform for assessing skills, knowledge, and competencies through quizzes, tests, exams, and certifications. Questions can be created from scratch, imported from PDF or Word files, or generated with AI. Supported formats include single- and multiple-choice, self-grading short answers, and descriptive open-ended questions. The service provides live respondent monitoring, results tables, statistics, progress tracking, and reports. Assessments can be shared through links or embedded on a website; its API can authorize respondents, start tests, and return results through another system. A Microsoft Teams add-in supports Azure Active Directory authorization and live webcam monitoring. Respondents do not need an account to start and can save and resume after interruptions. Testportal says up to 1,000 people can take a test simultaneously and asks customers with larger groups to contact the company. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $35 a month, and a 14-day trial is listed. The platform is based on Microsoft Azure infrastructure and lists GDPR readiness, anti-DDoS techniques, redundancy, SSL, and data encryption.
