This Software Engineer test evaluates candidates’ knowledge of the basic principles and topics of software engineering. The test helps you identify candidates who can approach problems using “software engineer thinking” to find the best solution possible.

A programming language is only a means of communication and not an end in itself. A programming language determines how one communicates ideas to the computer, but those ideas exist at a deeper level, independent of any specific language. To fully grasp ideas and be able to translate them into a programming language that a machine can understand, a software engineer must first understand the basics of computer science and data structures.

This Software Engineer test assesses candidates’ understanding of the:

- Fundamentals of computer science

- Knowledge of linear data structures

- Non linear data structures

- Algorithms that lie at the heart of all software

- Complexity of a given algorithm

- Ability to determine the quality of different algorithmic solutions

Candidates who perform well on this test have a good understanding of the fundamentals of computer science, software design principles, and analysis of algorithms. The test ensures that these candidates have all the technical skills needed to implement your company’s vision into bits and bytes.
