How It Works
Step-by-Step Assessment Process
To assess test takers with the aid of technical aptitude software, the first step is to define the role and the requirement for conducting the exam by setting specific skills, knowledge, and qualifications required for each position. The second step involves creating the test by adding questions in various formats and customizing them to evaluate a broad spectrum of skills including coding languages, software engineering practices, system architecture, data structures, and algorithms. Once these institutions create the test, they are required to develop the profile of applicants or students within the system by providing their basic information and then permit them to take the test either online or on-site through the software platform in a timed format. After taking the test, the software, by its automated evaluation, grades the tests based on pre-set rules and generates detailed reports, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, knowledge gaps, and readiness for specific roles.
