Why test at all
LMSs differ in how they launch packages, store progress and report completion. A package that works in one LMS can behave differently in another. The only reliable check is the LMS your learners will use.
Choose the version your client’s LMS expects
Allure Create downloads test packages in SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 (3rd and 4th edition), xAPI, cmi5 and as a web package. Ask the LMS administrator which SCORM version they prefer. If they do not know, SCORM 1.2 is the most widely supported.
What to check in the LMS
- The course launches and the first slide or lesson appears.
- Progress is kept when the learner exits and relaunches.
- Completion is recorded the way the client expects.
- Scored questions report as intended.
- Captions and keyboard access work in the LMS player window.
Record what you tested
Write down the package version, the LMS, the date and what you checked. If something behaves differently later, you will know whether the package or the LMS changed.
