SOLID, Technical Aptitude & Coding Online Test

The SOLID Technical Aptitude Online Test uses scenario-based MCQs to evaluate candidates on their understanding of software design principles based on SOLID principles. The test assesses candidates on their knowledge of Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion principles, as well as their ability to apply these principles in designing and implementing software systems. It also evaluates their familiarity with design patterns, refactoring techniques, code smells, and anti-patterns related to SOLID principles.

Rewards Activities Order
Database Connection
Solve
A new popular app tracks the activities performed by its users and grants them rewards based on each individual's total activities performed in a year. This data is maintained in a database table (activitesinfo), with the following columns: userid, totalactivities, reward. This year, due to fundraising activity, the company has decided to further reward its users by enhancing the reward as per the following formula: If reward < = 4000, increase it by 2%, If 4000 < reward <= 8000, increase it by 4%, If reward > 8000, increase it by 6%.
The tech team has written three different scripts to calculate increment for each slab, each script is to run as a separate transaction. Here are the three scripts:
Script 1:
For users with reward <= 4000, set reward = reward * 1.02

Script 2:
For users with reward > 4000 and reward <= 8000, set reward = reward * 1.04

Script 3:
For users with reward > 8000, set reward = reward * 1.06
Each script is to be executed separately. Which of the following options will update the rewards as expected:
A: Execute Script 1 followed by Script 2 followed by Script 3
B: Execute Script 2 followed by Script 3; Script 1 running concurrently throughout
C: Execute Script 3 followed by Script 2; Script 1 running concurrently throughout
D: Execute Script 3 followed by Script 2 followed by Script 1
E: Execute Script 2 followed by Script 3 followed by Script 1

Test candidates on core SOLID, Technical Aptitude & Coding Hiring Test topics

SOLID Principles: The SOLID principles are a set of five design principles in object-oriented programming that aim to make software systems more maintainable and extensible. They include the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP), Open/Closed Principle (OCP), Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP), Interface Segregation Principle (ISP), and Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP). By measuring this skill, recruiters can assess a candidate's understanding of these principles and their ability to apply them in software design.

Object Oriented Design: Object-oriented design is a programming paradigm that organizes software applications into modular components called objects, which have state, behavior, and identity. It promotes code reusability, maintainability, and scalability. Measuring this skill helps recruiters evaluate a candidate's proficiency in designing software systems using the principles of object-oriented programming.

Technical Aptitude: Technical aptitude refers to a candidate's ability to understand and apply technical concepts and principles in problem-solving and decision-making scenarios. It involves skills such as logical reasoning, analytical thinking, attention to detail, and problem-solving ability. Assessing technical aptitude in this test allows recruiters to gauge a candidate's overall technical competency and their potential to excel in a technical role.

Data Structures: Data structures are the fundamental building blocks of organizing and storing data in computer memory. They provide efficient ways to perform operations like searching, sorting, and manipulating data. Measuring this skill enables recruiters to assess a candidate's knowledge and ability to choose appropriate data structures for efficient algorithmic problem-solving and software development.

What is SOLID, Technical Aptitude & Coding Test?

The SOLID, Technical Aptitude & Coding Test is designed to assess a candidate’s knowledge of SOLID Principles, Object-Oriented Design, Technical Aptitude, and Data Structures. Recruiters use this test to evaluate the skills required for senior roles in software development.

What topics are evaluated in the SOLID, Technical Aptitude & Coding Test?

This test covers:

  • SOLID Principles
  • Object-Oriented Design
  • Technical Aptitude
  • Data Structures. It includes 15 MCQs and one coding question.
Can I test JavaScript and NodeJS together in a test?

Yes, you can test JavaScript and NodeJS together. We recommend our JavaScript & NodeJS Test. It assesses skills relevant to both technologies.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.

What is the cost of using this test?

You can check out our pricing plans.
