What TestWe does

TestWe SAS is a French EdTech company headquartered in Paris (27 Boulevard Saint-Martin) that provides a unified online examination and proctoring platform for high-stakes, high-volume assessments. The company was founded circa 2014-2015 (WILCO seed round in March 2015; a ~€1.3M round led by Bpifrance, FaDièse, and Pleiade Venture followed in July 2017), with its current platform form launching in 2020-2021 and reportedly scaling to handle up to 10,000 exams per day during the COVID-19 remote-assessment surge. The product is built on a cloud architecture (AWS France) and consists of three integrated modules: Evaluations et QCM (assessment authoring supporting QCM, free text, oral, multimedia, and spreadsheet questions), Assistant IA (AI-powered automatic question generation from PDF/DOCX documents and AI-assisted grading of open-ended responses), and Télésurveillance/ProctorWe (synchronous and asynchronous remote proctoring combining facial recognition, behavioral analysis, and human supervisor intervention). A distinctive technical capability is a native offline examination mode that synchronizes upon network return, targeting in-person digital exam settings.

The platform serves three primary verticals: higher education institutions (Université Panthéon-Assas, UNESP, UFMG, EUC), professional certification bodies (ENI Service, CCI France for the CLOE language certification), and government/recruitment (DGAC for civil aviation; recruiter pre-selection testing). Revenue is generated through annual SaaS subscriptions (quote-based, no public pricing) combined with usage-based proctoring fees; pricing is enterprise-tier and negotiated by a direct sales team. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a structured partner program spanning technology/LMS integrators (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard), content publishers, institutional resellers, and a listing on UGAP, the French public-procurement marketplace. Regulatory positioning is central: TestWe holds ISO 9001:2015, Qualiopi (French Ministry of Labour), GDPR/RGPD compliance with EU-hosted data, and Ecovadis sustainability certification, and has earned coverage in Le Monde, L'Étudiant, France Inter, BFM Business, Les Échos, Le Parisien, and Challenges. 2024 reported platform metrics include 300,000 exam copies processed, 130,000 users, 475,000 exam hours, and 128,552 proctoring sessions, with the platform supporting French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch.

Core offering

TestWe provides a unified online examination and assessment SaaS platform that enables organisations to create, administer, proctor, and grade digital exams. The platform supports multi-format questionnaires (QCM, written, oral, multimedia), offers an AI assistant for automated question generation and grading, and includes a remote proctoring module with identity verification and behavioural analysis. It serves higher education institutions, professional certification bodies, recruiters, and government agencies with RGPD-compliant infrastructure hosted on AWS France.

Product overview

TestWe is a unified online examination and assessment platform designed for high-stakes evaluations and large volumes. The platform consists of three core modules: (1) Evaluations et QCM for creating and administering assessments with multiple question formats (QCM, free-response, oral, multimedia), featuring automated correction and AI-powered question generation; (2) Assistant IA providing automatic question creation from documents and assisted correction for open-ended responses; and (3) Télésurveillance (Proctoring) offering both synchronous and asynchronous remote monitoring with AI behavioral analysis for anti-cheat detection. The platform targets three main segments: recruiters (pre-selection testing), professional certification bodies, and higher education institutions. Key differentiators include native offline mode for in-person digital exams, advanced proctoring combining human oversight with AI anomaly detection, complete native traceability of each session, and multi-site synchronized management. ProctorWe operates as a standalone proctoring submodule that can be integrated with other platforms.

Direct peers

• Questionmark: Enterprise assessment platform for certification and compliance testing with proctoring options; overlaps with TestWe's professional-certification positioning and multi-format question support.
• Proctorio: Fully automated AI proctoring tool with LMS integrations; direct feature competitor to TestWe ProctorWe across identity verification, behavioral analysis, and lockdown browser functionality.
• ProctorU: Direct competitor in remote proctoring for higher education and certification; offers both live human and AI-based monitoring, comparable to TestWe's ProctorWe. Competes for the same university and certification-body RFPs globally, with stronger US presence vs TestWe's Europe focus.
• Examity: Online proctoring service combining live human and AI monitoring for higher education and certification. Competes with TestWe in the same institutional segments with similar hybrid proctoring model.
• Honorlock: AI-driven remote proctoring service for higher education institutions. Comparable feature set to TestWe's ProctorWe (AI surveillance + human review) and competes for similar institutional assessment buyers.
• Mercer Mettl: Online assessment platform covering recruitment pre-employment testing, certification, and learning assessments, with proctoring capabilities. Directly comparable across TestWe's recruiter and certification-body segments.
• Respondus: Provides LockDown Browser and Monitor for online exam proctoring integrated with LMS platforms (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard). Closely comparable to TestWe on LTI/API integration and LMS-native assessment delivery, predominantly serving North American higher-ed.

Broad incumbents

• Pearson VUE: Global computer-based testing and certification platform owned by Pearson; serves large certification programs and professional licensing with both test centers and online proctoring. Much broader portfolio than TestWe but overlaps heavily in professional certification segment.
• Yardstick (Meazure Learning): Acquired ProctorU/Examity and operates a broad portfolio of online proctoring and test-center services; a scaled incumbent against which TestWe must differentiate on EU compliance and SMB certifier agility.

Emerging players

• TestGorilla: Pre-employment assessment platform focused on recruiter use case (one of TestWe's three verticals). Comparable on screening test delivery and anti-cheat, though lighter on enterprise/certification scope; potential emerging competitor for TestWe's recruiter segment.
