HackerRank Projects is a question type that enables you to assess Front-end, Back-end, and Full-stack developers through project-based assessments. These assessments involve multi-file projects, where the codebase is organized into multiple files and directories, offering a more realistic evaluation of a candidate's software development skills compared to traditional single-file coding questions.
HackerRank Projects can also be customized to evaluate specific roles such as DevOps, Database Engineer, and more, ensuring that the assessments align with the unique requirements of each role.
Technologies Supported
HackerRank platform supports a wide range of technologies including Jupyter, Angular, React.js, Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails, and Java.
Benefits
While traditional environments focus on evaluating candidates' core computer science skills, the HackerRank Projects environment enables the assessment of candidates on real-world, project-based problems. This is particularly beneficial when hiring experienced developers, as it allows companies to test their knowledge of frameworks and their ability to build real applications.
The HackerRank Projects environment can:
- Support automatic scoring based on the number of unit test cases passed, with the flexibility to incorporate any custom scoring method defined by the question setter.
- Run any stack supported on Ubuntu. Question setters can upload a project directory and present candidates with an initialized project in the online IDE.
- Includes a dedicated web-based IDE, eliminating the need for candidates to set up their own development environment. The IDE is pre-configured, allowing candidates to focus directly on solving the task. It also provides features for coding, creating and managing folders and files, and running project-based problems with access to a terminal.
