HackerRank Projects enables you to assess candidates' Azure skills in a real-world environment using Azure consoles, providing an accurate measure of their ability to handle cloud-based tasks. Candidates will be provided with temporary Azure accounts and are scored based on their work in those consoles. 

Creating a Cloud Assessment 

Steps:

  • You can add individual Azure questions to your tests:
    • Click on Library from the home page
    • Navigate to the left pane and click on Type
    • Select Cloud from the available options
  • Select a cloud question based on Azure and click Add to Test.

Candidate Experience

  • For each Azure question in the test, a unique Azure account is provisioned.
  • For example, if the test contains four Azure questions, the candidate will be provided with four separate Azure accounts.

  • The candidate will see an option to launch the Azure portal with a username and password tied to each question.
  • Candidates must log in using the correct Azure account for each specific question.

  • After logging into the Azure portal, the candidate will have access to necessary resources, such as creating a virtual machine.

Evaluation and Reporting

  • Once the test is submitted, the system automatically evaluates the candidate's work using the logs from the Azure portal.
  • You can view the Evaluation Criteria of an Azure question by opening the question within the HackerRank Library. When the candidate submits the test their attempt will be evaluated based on this criteria.

  • A detailed report is generated based on the test cases passed or failed.

  • The detailed report includes scoring logs and activity logs, allowing you to review the candidate's work. You can download these logs for further analysis.

Limitations

  • The tab proctoring feature and functionality to add time to a candidate’s test are not supported when an Azure question is present in the test.
  • You can use the hands-on cloud questions available in the HackerRank Library while creating tests as the ability to create custom Azure questions is not available at this point.

Note: This feature is currently in limited availability if you want to enable it or have specific use cases related to Azure skills that you would like to discuss please reach out to support@hackerrank.com
