Grunt Test

The Grunt Test makes use of scenario-based questions to test for on-the-job skills as opposed to theoretical knowledge, ensuring that candidates who do well on this screening test have the relavant skills. The questions are designed to covered following on-the-job aspects:

• Understanding the basics of Grunt task configuration
• Mapping files and folders in Grunt
• Compacting files in Grunt for optimized performance
• Creating custom filter functions in Grunt for specific tasks
• Creating and managing Grunt tasks
• Using the Grunt CLI for command line task execution
• Configuring task dependencies in Grunt
• Using wrappers to encapsulate Grunt tasks
• Advanced task configuration techniques in Grunt
• Optimizing file processing in Grunt

Once the test is sent to a candidate, the candidate receives a link in email to take the test. For each candidate, you will receive a detailed report with skills breakdown and benchmarks to shortlist the top candidates from your pool.

• Task Configuration

  Task Configuration refers to the process of defining and customizing the tasks performed by the Grunt framework. It involves specifying various options, settings, and configurations that determine how the tasks are executed. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to effectively configure and customize tasks in Grunt.

• File Mapping

  File Mapping involves the process of mapping input and output files in Grunt tasks. It allows developers to define the source files to be processed and the destination paths for the output files. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's proficiency in correctly mapping files in Grunt tasks.

• File Compaction

  File Compaction refers to the process of compressing or minifying files by removing unnecessary characters, reducing file size, and improving performance. This skill is assessed in the test to gauge the candidate's ability to effectively compact files using Grunt, which is often needed for optimizing web applications and reducing load times.

• Custom Filter Function

  A custom filter function allows developers to define their own logic for filtering files or data in Grunt tasks. It offers flexibility to include or exclude specific files based on custom criteria. Measuring this skill in the test helps identify the candidate's capability to create and apply custom filter functions in Grunt tasks.

• Creating Tasks

  Creating Tasks relates to the process of writing and defining new tasks in Grunt. It involves specifying the desired functionality, dependencies, and configurations for the task to be executed. This skill is measured to determine the candidate's proficiency in creating custom tasks using Grunt's task system.

• Grunt CLI

  The Grunt CLI (Command Line Interface) allows developers to run Grunt commands and tasks from the command line. It provides a unified interface for controlling and managing Grunt tasks. Assessing this skill helps evaluate the candidate's familiarity and ability to utilize the Grunt CLI effectively.

• Task Dependency

  Task Dependency refers to the process of specifying the order and relationships between tasks in Grunt. It allows tasks to be executed sequentially or in parallel based on their dependencies. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's understanding of task dependency management in Grunt.

• Wrapper

  The Wrapper feature in Grunt allows developers to wrap tasks in a standardized structure, making it easier to define shared options, settings, and functionality across tasks. This skill is assessed in the test to evaluate the candidate's proficiency in utilizing the wrapper feature to streamline task creation and maintain consistency.
