SSRS Security Management: SSRS Security Management involves the management of user accounts, roles, and permissions within the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) platform. This skill is important to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive reports and data, thereby maintaining data confidentiality and preventing unauthorized use or tampering.

Reporting Service Tools: Reporting Service Tools refers to a set of tools and utilities that are used to design, develop, and manage reports in SSRS. These tools provide a graphical interface for creating and formatting reports, as well as managing report datasets and parameters. Measuring this skill ensures that candidates are proficient in using the various tools available for efficient report design and management.

Report Configuration: Report Configuration involves the setup and configuration of SSRS report servers, including configuring data sources, report subscriptions, and scheduling report execution. This skill is important as it allows candidates to ensure that reports are properly configured and scheduled, enabling automated report delivery and seamless data access for end-users.

Internet Information Services: Internet Information Services (IIS) is a web server software used to host and manage web applications, including SSRS. This skill covers the configuration and management of IIS to ensure proper deployment and functioning of the SSRS platform. Evaluating this skill is crucial, as it ensures that candidates can successfully deploy and maintain SSRS on an IIS server.

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.

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