OVERVIEW

The Programming Assessment helps you evaluate a candidate’s real-time problem-solving and coding skills. These assessments engage candidates with coding challenges where they are asked to:

  • Write solutions to programming problems

  • Debug existing code

  • Predict outputs in real time

This ensures you’re assessing not only technical knowledge but also logical reasoning, accuracy, and efficiency.
