PARCC is a Common-Core and NCLB compliant test, which Pearson developed.  Smarter Balanced is a different Common Core and NCLB compliant test, developed separately.  And then there are a variety of other NCLB compliant tests which were developed within states, some of which are Common Core compliant, some of which aren't.

Meanwhile, Pearson is also a company that publishes textbooks, some of which are Common Core compliant.  But many other companies, like Houghton-Mifflin Harcort (which includes Holt Rinehart and Winston and others), McGraw Hill (which includes Glencoe, Random House and others) and others also publish a wide range of textbooks and materials, to include Common Core compliant ones.  Also on the scene are myriad other offerings, many of which have offerings aligned to Common Core, to include Khan Academy - and, there is also a lot of free, open source content showing up, which also brings up the fact that the whole textbook industry is being disrupted by the electronic content available for tablets and online delivery.
