The Software Engineering online test assesses knowledge of software development and engineering concepts, principles, and best practices through a series of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.
The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:
- Creating RESTful APIs.
- Using OOP principles and OOP design patterns to write reusable code.
- Selecting an appropriate solution and software architecture to satisfy specific business needs.
A good software engineer needs a solid understanding of how software systems work together, how to optimize them, and how to design systems to avoid potential issues.

What others say
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.
