About the test

The PowerShell online test assesses PowerShell skills with questions that require knowledge of task automation and configuration management across operating systems.

The assessment includes solving work-sample tasks such as:

  • Using cmdlets and modules for system administration and configuration management tasks.
  • Setting up data processing pipelines.

A good system administrator or PowerShell developer needs to have a solid understanding of the PowerShell command-line and scripting language to work on and automate system administration tasks efficiently.

Decorative quote

Simple, straight-forward technical testing

TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
