9 reasons why

Adaface Manual Testing Online Test is the most accurate way to shortlist Manual Testing professionals

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The Manual Testing Test helps recruiters and hiring managers identify qualified candidates from a pool of resumes, and helps in taking objective hiring decisions. It reduces the administrative overhead of interviewing too many candidates and saves time by filtering out unqualified candidates.

The Adaface Manual Testing Online Test screens candidates for the typical skills recruiters look for Software Tester roles:

Knowledge of software test design and testing procedures
Understanding of test procedures as well as compatibility with a variety of software applications
Understanding of programming

The insights generated from this assessment can be used by recruiters and hiring managers to identify the best candidates for Software Tester roles. Anti-cheating features enable you to be comfortable with conducting assessments online. The Manual Testing Online Test is ideal for helping recruiters identify which candidates have the skills to do well on the job.

Reason #2

No trick questions

Traditional assessment tools use trick questions and puzzles for the screening, which creates a lot of frustration among candidates about having to go through irrelevant screening assessments.

The main reason we started Adaface is that traditional pre-employment assessment platforms are not a fair way for companies to evaluate candidates. At Adaface, our mission is to help companies find great candidates by assessing on-the-job skills required for a role.

Why we started Adaface ->

Reason #3

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.

These are just a small sample from our library of 10,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Manual Testing Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question
Medium Database testcase Regression Testing	Solve
Adaface is developing a new database system called “Helen”. The tester at Adaface developed the following testcase for regression testing: 1. Open Helen 2. Open “Students” database 3. Enter data for “Sid” 4. Set checkpoint 5. Store “Sid” data in “Students” 6. Restart Helen 7. Read “Sid” data from “Students” 8. Compare checkpoint with the contents When the tester ran the testcase the first time, it worked as expected. Pick the correct statements: A: When the test case is ran the second time, the data entry for “Sid” already exists in the database. B: When the test case is ran the second time, it performs exactly as it did the first time C: The testcase is a good example for regression testing “Helen” D: The testcase is not a good example for regression testing “Helen” since the system behaves differently when the testcase is ran the second time
Medium Decision Table	Solve
Check the following decision table: What are the expected actions for following testcases? I: Joey's age is 22. He is a smoker residing in India II: Jennifer's age is 62. She is a non-smoker not residing in India A) I - Insure, 10% discount. II - Insure, no discount B) I - Don't insure. II - Don't insure C) I - Insure, no discount. II - Don't insure D) I - Insure, no discount. II - Insure, 10% discount
Easy Cart Checkout Incident Report	Solve
Review the following incident report written QA team of LWB, Little White Book (an e-commerce app): 1. Place any items in the cart (Say “Nike FST Men”). 2. Place any other (different) item in the shopping cart (Say “Nike Air Max”). 3. Remove “Nike FST Men” from the shopping cart, but leave “Nike Air Max” in the cart. 4. Click on “Check out” button. 5. Expect the app to display the check out screen, instead ‘No items in the shopping cart. Click continue to go back to shopping.’ error message is shown as a popup. 6. Click “Continue”. 7. Expect the app to go to shopping screen to add/remove items from the cart. Instead the app crashes. 8. The error in steps 5 and 7 occurred in every attempt of 5 attempts (1 2 3 4 and 6). Which of the following information is missing from the incident report?
Medium Algorithm and Testcase Unreachable Code Designing Testcases	Solve
Review the following algorithm to calculate the final bill in a store: Algorithm: 1. Each purchase has three amounts - base, special and extra 2. On the base amount - If there is a discount offer going on in the store, the discount is applied 3. There are no discounts on the special amount 4. On the extra amount - customer is offered 19% discount if accrued credits are equal to or more than 25 or 10% if the accrued credits are equal to or more than 13. If the accrued credits are lesser than 13, no discount on the extra amount is offered. In case there is a discount offer going on in the store, the discount on extra amount calculated based on credits cannot be lesser than the discount offer. Here is the code written by the developers for this algorithm: Here is the code the developers wrote to test the program when a customer has 13 credits and store offer is 0: Pick the correct statements: A: The code works correctly as expected without any defect B: The program has unreachable code and generates faulty output when credits are ≥ 25 C: The testcase is written correctly and tests the test case as expected D: The testcase need to be modified to account for imprecise rounding of floating numbers. Ex: (price == 12900.00) can be replaced with ((price - 12900.00) < 0.01) E: The testcase need to be modified to account for imprecise rounding of floating numbers. Ex: (price == 12900.00) can be replaced with (abs(price - 12900.00) < 0.01)

Reason #4

1200+ customers in 75 countries

With Adaface, we were able to optimise our initial screening process by upwards of 75%, freeing up precious time for both hiring managers and our talent acquisition team alike!

Brandon Lee, Head of People, Love, Bonito

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Manual Testing Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the Manual Testing Test from your dashboard by entering their email address.

Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

API or integrations: You can invite candidates directly from your ATS by using our pre-built integrations with popular ATS systems or building a custom integration with your in-house ATS.

Reason #7

Detailed scorecards & comparative results

Reason #8

High completion rate

Adaface tests are conversational, low-stress, and take just 25-40 mins to complete.

This is why Adaface has the highest test-completion rate (86%), which is more than 2x better than traditional assessments.

About Software Testing Engineer Roles

Manual testing is the process of confirming that software works as expected by physically utilising the capabilities and features of an application as an end-user would, including their possible errors, with the goal of ensuring that the programme is defect-free.

A software tester is in charge of creating test scenarios for software usability, conducting these tests, and reporting to the production team on the effectiveness and errors. A software tester may also be referred to as a software test engineer or a quality assurance (QA) tester.

Typical Software Tester responsibilities include:

Examining software requirements and developing test scenarios
Conducting software usability testing
Analyzing test results to determine database implications, faults or problems, and usability
Preparing reports on all elements of software testing performed and reporting to the design team
Interacting with customers to ascertain product requirements
Participating in design reviews and offering feedback on requirements, product design, and possible issues

FAQs

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify.

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

Non-googleable questions
IP proctoring
Web proctoring
Webcam proctoring
Plagiarism detection
Secure browser

Read more about the proctoring features.

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.

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.
