Frequently asked questions

How do you evaluate a coding test?+

Check correctness via test cases, then review complexity, readability, edge cases and testing using a fixed rubric with 1–5 ratings.

How do you check plagiarism in coding tests?+

Use the platform's similarity report and ask the candidate to walk through their solution in the next round.

Should freshers and experienced developers get the same coding test?+

Usually not. Freshers are tested on fundamentals, while experienced hires get problems closer to real work and design.
