9 reasons why

Adaface Web Testing is the most accurate way to shortlist Web Testers

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The Web Testing 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 at the first step of the hiring process.

The test screens for the following skills that hiring managers look for in candidates:

Able to perform web testing using industry-standard methodologies
Proficient in designing test cases for web applications
Experience in using QA tools like Selenium for web testing
Skilled in manual testing techniques and methodologies
Understanding of web testing fundamentals and best practices
Ability to identify and document defects in web applications
Knowledge of cross-browser and cross-platform testing
Familiarity with web accessibility standards and guidelines
Capability to analyze and debug test failures in web applications
Effective communication and collaboration with development teams

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.

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.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Web Testing 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.

Science behind Adaface tests

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the Web Testing 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.

What topics are covered in the Web Testing?

Web Testing Fundamentals
Web Testing Fundamentals is the knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts and principles of testing web applications. This skill measures the ability to identify and prioritize test cases, assess the quality of web application components, and effectively communicate testing-related issues. Testing fundamentals are important to ensure thorough testing and deliver a reliable and high-quality web application.
Designing Tests
Designing Tests is the skill of creating test cases and test scenarios that effectively cover all functionalities and aspects of a web application. This skill involves planning and organizing tests to provide maximum test coverage and identifying potential areas of risk. Test design is essential to ensure comprehensive testing and uncover any potential issues or bugs in the web application.
Using QA tools like Selenium
Using QA tools like Selenium refers to the proficiency in using automation tools, specifically Selenium, for web testing purposes. Selenium is a powerful tool that allows testers to automate their tests, execute them across different web browsers, and verify the functionalities and compatibility of a web application. This skill enables testers to speed up the testing process, increase test coverage, and identify any issues or bugs in the web application efficiently.
Manual Testing Basics
Manual Testing Basics is the understanding and execution of testing activities without the use of automation tools. This skill involves performing tests manually, step by step, to identify defects, validate functionalities, and ensure the usability and reliability of a web application. Manual testing is important as it allows testers to simulate real-world scenarios and user interactions, uncover potential usability issues, and provide valuable insights into the overall quality of the web application.

Web Testing 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. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

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
Screen proctoring
Web proctoring
Webcam proctoring
Plagiarism detection
Secure browser
Copy paste protection

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.
