Non-googleable questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

Sourcing files using Gulp
Managing file compatibility and cross-browser issues
Creating and managing pipelines for efficient task execution
Using Gulp to source, process, and output files
Implementing file watching functionality with Gulp
Creating and managing tasks with Gulp
Working with callbacks in Gulp
Optimizing build processes using Gulp
Using Gulp plugins effectively
Handling asynchronous operations in Gulp

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.

What topics are covered in the Gulp Test?

Sourcing Files: This skill involves obtaining the necessary files required for a project, whether it be source code, documents, or other resources. It is important to measure this skill in the test to assess the candidate's ability to locate and gather the required files efficiently and effectively for development purposes.

Compatibility: Compatibility refers to the ability of different components or systems to work together without any issues. This skill is crucial to measure as it ensures that the candidate can develop code that is compatible with various platforms, browsers, operating systems, and devices, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Pipelining: Pipelining in the context of the Gulp test involves chaining multiple tasks or operations together to create an efficient workflow. This skill should be measured as it demonstrates the candidate's understanding of task automation and their ability to streamline processes by dividing them into smaller, manageable steps.

Watcher: The watcher skill involves setting up a system that automatically detects changes in files and triggers specified tasks or actions accordingly. Measuring this skill will help determine the candidate's proficiency in real-time monitoring and responding to file modifications, which is essential for efficient development and ensuring code integrity.

Tasks: This skill refers to the ability to define and manage tasks within a build system. Candidates with a strong grasp of tasks can automate repetitive processes and enhance efficiency during development. Measuring this skill will assess the candidate's ability to create and manage tasks effectively.

Callbacks: Callbacks are functions that are passed as arguments to other functions and are executed upon completion of specified operations. Assessing this skill will enable recruiters to evaluate the candidate's understanding of asynchronous programming and their ability to use callbacks effectively to handle tasks that require waiting for a response or completing a process.

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.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.

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.
