DevOps questions are those that help to assess the Linux skills of a candidate. When a candidate takes a test comprising DevOps questions, we set up their own sandbox Linux virtual machine to log in remotely. You can ask them to perform whatever tasks you like: install a package, create a file with certain contents, or perform an action with a specific tool like grep.
You can write a script to score candidates' performance or rely on the session playback to grade the test subjectively. The video playback feature lets you view if a candidate checked a manpage or knew how a tool worked from memory.
When a candidate views a DevOps question, the problem statement is displayed alongside the login credentials and an SSH command for logging into the Linux virtual machine. The in-browser code editor does not exist for DevOps questions, which differs from other question types where the candidate views the problem statement and enters their solution on the same page. DevOps questions can only be used in tests and not imported in interviews at this point.
