What is a Ruby on Rails test?

Ruby on Rails is an open-source, full-stack web application framework and is used to build web applications for both the front and back end.

The Ruby on Rails test assesses a programmer's knowledge and understanding of the framework. It covers a range of topics, from general knowledge of Rails to application development.

The test is multiple-choice and typically takes around 10 minutes to complete. It's timed, so it's important candidates answer efficiently and accurately.

Why should you use a Ruby on Rails test for recruiting?

Using a Ruby on Rails test as part of your recruitment process is a quick and easy way to determine whether prospective employees have the level of Ruby experience required for the position you are hiring for.

Skills such as Ruby are commonly listed on developers’ resumes, but the insight that can be gained from reviewing a candidate’s experience on paper is limited. A Ruby test can be used to substantiate claims made, confirming the level of skill possessed.

A Ruby on Rails skills test is best administered in combination with other coding and technical skills tests, to gain the greatest insights into prospective employees’ abilities.

Job roles for which a Ruby test may be a useful prerequisite include:

Targeted skills testing, such as using a Ruby test, allows for bias-free, data-driven decisions to be made based on assessment data. This ensures that the strongest candidates advance in the process and avoids any unintentional bias.

How our test assesses Ruby on Rail skills

In Neuroworx’s Ruby on Rails test, candidates will need to answer a range of questions targeting an intermediate level of proficiency, from demonstrating knowledge about the framework to problem-solving and error checking.

The test is designed to indicate how well a candidate understands Ruby on Rails based on a final test score, which can then be compared to the scores of other applicants.

The multiple-choice questions consist of one correct answer and two to four distractors. The distractors are mostly generic mistakes or misconceptions, which makes the test challenging and helps measure a candidate’s proficiency more accurately.

During the development process, the test was rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. It was created and tested by programmers and psychometric experts, and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying Ruby on Rails experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.

Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each programmer has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of Ruby proficiency and feels the test is of high quality.

Our programming tests are monitored to ensure they are up-to-date and optimised for performance.
