About the test
The REST API online test assesses knowledge of creating and using RESTful web services and underlying HTTP specifics.
The assessment includes solving work-sample tasks, such as:
- Defining the endpoints for REST APIs.
- Understanding the HTTP protocol.
- Applying network security concepts.
A good software engineer should know how to create and use RESTful web services, make RESTful APIs and understand the underlying HTTP protocol in order to create and use web services for robust, scalable, and user-friendly web applications.

Simple, straight-forward technical testing
