Form Logs
Forms
Solve
A web app for a popular AI conference (conducted in New York, with attendees from around the world) uses a signup/login page before users can access their dashboard. The signup/login page uses a form for users to input details and submit. The details are then sent to the backend service for processing. All user actions are logged in a log server. Senior Frontend Engineer, Musk, observed patterns in the issues users are facing with the the web app. Here are the two common patterns that Musk observed in the issues that have been occurring for most users:
 image
 image
Which of the following should Musk do to enhance the user experience with the page?

A: Implement validation using JS event listeners on client-side (e.g., on input or change)
B: Utilize HTML5 built-in form validation attributes (e.g., required, pattern)
C: Use server-side validation and refresh the page on form submission
D: Use a serverless function that processes the user’s form details, saves the user’s entries in the database and responds with validation data

Medium

Interactive Application
JavaScript Rendering
Solve
A senior front-end engineer is tasked with optimizing the loading speed of a web application. The current bottleneck is the large number of JavaScript files that must be downloaded before the application becomes interactive. The engineer noticed that the browser spends a lot of time parsing and executing the JS code before making the application interactive. Which of the following techniques should the engineer apply to address this issue?

Medium

Broker Replication
System Design
Solve
You are working on a large-scale, distributed, and fault-tolerant message processing system designed to handle high throughput and low latency requirements. The system is based on the publish-subscribe pattern and uses multiple brokers to distribute messages across various topics and partitions. In this architecture, both publishers and subscribers are considered clients. The brokers are responsible for replicating messages among themselves to ensure fault tolerance and data durability.
 image
A client reports successfully publishing a message on a specific topic. However, one of the subscribers has not received the message. To investigate the issue, you have gathered detailed logs and system design data, as shown below:
 image
Based on the information provided, which of the following is the most likely reason for the issue?

A: The message was not published on the topic
B: Client C is not subscribed to the correct topic
C: There is a replication lag between brokers B1 and B2
D: Client C is consuming from the wrong broker
E: The message processing system failed to acknowledge the message

Medium

Load Balancer Latency
Debugging
Solve
A backend service is experiencing intermittent latency spikes while processing incoming requests. The service is deployed in a multi-node environment with a load balancer in front. You suspect that the issue might be related to resource contention. You collect the following performance metrics from the affected nodes during a spike:
 image
Which of the following is the most probable cause of the latency spikes?
A: High memory usage on the affected nodes.
B: Disk I/O bottlenecks on the affected nodes.
C: Insufficient CPU resources on the affected nodes.
D: Uneven distribution of incoming requests by the load balancer.
E: Network latency between the load balancer and the backend nodes.

Registration Queue
Logic
Queues
Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount.
For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array.
- The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.

For the example discussed above, the input will be:
5
20 70 -40 30 -10

Your code needs to print the following to the standard output:
20 70 30 -40 -10

Medium

Visitors Count
Strings
Logic
Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. 
Example:

Input:
WWMMWWCCC

Expected Output: 
4W3C2M

Explanation: 
‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. 
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The input is already parsed and passed to a function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.
- If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’.
- If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.

Test candidates on core Full Stack Developer Hiring Test topics

REST APIs: REST APIs (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interfaces) are a set of rules and conventions for building web services that allow different software applications to communicate with each other. They enable data exchange and integration between systems, making them a vital skill for full stack developers.

Web Fundamentals: Web fundamentals encompass the foundational concepts and technologies used in web development, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Understanding these core components is essential for building and designing web applications that are user-friendly and scalable.

Coding: Coding refers to the process of translating logical instructions into a language that a computer can understand. Proficiency in coding, particularly in languages like JavaScript, Python, or Java, is crucial for implementing functionalities and creating interactive features in web applications.

Databases: Databases are used for storing, managing, and retrieving large amounts of structured data efficiently. Full stack developers need to have a solid understanding of database concepts and technologies like relational databases (such as MySQL) or NoSQL databases (such as MongoDB) to design and develop robust backend systems.

Data Structures: Data structures are fundamental tools for organizing and manipulating data in a computer program. A strong grasp of various data structures, such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues, enables developers to optimize code performance and solve complex programming problems effectively.

Algorithms: Algorithms are step-by-step procedures for solving specific computational problems. Proficiency in understanding, designing, and implementing algorithms is essential for solving coding challenges, optimizing performance, and creating efficient solutions in software development.

Optimization: Optimization involves improving the efficiency and performance of software applications. Full stack developers should possess the skill to analyze and optimize code, databases, and system architecture to enhance application speed, scalability, and resource utilization.

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?
