What topics are covered in the SAP PowerBuilder Online Test?

Object-Oriented Programming: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that organizes data and behavior into reusable structures called objects. It promotes modularity, encapsulation, and code reusability. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's understanding of OOP concepts, such as classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism, which are fundamental to software development.

Data Access: Data Access refers to the process of retrieving and manipulating data stored in databases. It involves techniques like querying, updating, deleting, and inserting data into databases. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's ability to interact with databases efficiently and securely.

User Interface Design: User Interface Design involves creating the visual layout and interaction design of software applications, aiming to provide a seamless and intuitive user experience. It includes designing elements like buttons, menus, forms, and overall screen flow. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's understanding of user-centered design principles and their ability to create user-friendly interfaces.

Error Handling: Error Handling is the process of identifying, anticipating, and handling errors that may occur during software execution. It involves the use of exception handling mechanisms, error codes, and logging. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's ability to detect, report, and recover from errors, ensuring stable and robust applications.

Debugging: Debugging is the process of identifying and fixing defects or issues in software code. It involves analyzing logs, using debugging tools, and applying systematic problem-solving techniques. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to identify and resolve issues efficiently, ensuring the quality and reliability of the developed software.

Database Connectivity: Database Connectivity refers to the ability to establish and manage connections between software applications and databases. It involves configuring database drivers, establishing connections, and executing database operations. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's proficiency in integrating applications with databases and performing data manipulation tasks.

It includes tasks like packaging, installation, and configuration. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's knowledge of deployment strategies and their ability to ensure smooth and secure deployment of applications.

Events and Event Handling: Events and Event Handling refer to the mechanisms through which software components interact and respond to user actions or system events. It involves defining and handling event triggers, such as mouse clicks or key presses. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's understanding of event-driven programming and their ability to implement responsive and interactive software applications.

Dynamic Memory Management: Dynamic Memory Management is the process of allocating and deallocating memory dynamically during program execution. It involves tasks like memory allocation, deallocation, and memory management techniques like garbage collection.

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.

I'm a candidate. Can I try a practice test?

No. Unfortunately, we do not support practice tests at the moment. However, you can use our sample questions for practice.

What is the cost of using this test?

You can check out our pricing plans.

Can I get a free trial?

Yes, you can sign up for free and preview this test.
