What is a Microsoft Azure test?

A Microsoft Azure test is used to determine a candidate's ability to optimise services delivered through the Azure platform, and in the process improve business performance.

Testing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the Microsoft Azure test shows you which applicants are capable of boosting the efficiency, reliability and security of your cloud solutions, all in line with the guidelines laid out in Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework.

Those who do well in this test have the knowledge to devise and implement best practices and ensure cost efficiencies for all your Microsoft cloud investments.

Why should you use a Microsoft Azure test for recruiting?

Traditional IT infrastructure is slowly becoming a thing of the past, as more and more businesses recognise the benefits of migrating to the cloud. As a major player in the public cloud, Microsoft Azure offers software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and serverless solutions to support a broad range of business sectors.

If you've already made the move and are using the Microsoft Azure platform, you'll know the value it can bring in the hands of the right talent – and how difficult it can be to identify that talent when recruiting.

If you're planning on cloud migration, and are building a team to assist, you'll want assurance that those you hire are more than competent in their field.

Applicants' experience may give you some confidence, but when it comes to technical skills, it's all about demonstrable proof. What a candidate states on their resume and claims during an interview may sound impressive, but does it match up to the realities of their skill?

With the Microsoft Azure test, you can narrow down the applicant pool to those with the greatest level of proficiency. Through a series of expertly designed theoretical and practical questions, the assessment will highlight those capable of applying the right tools and procedures: for design and deployment, performance optimisation, security, and maximum ROI.

How our test assesses Microsoft Azure skills

In Neuroworx's Microsoft Azure test, candidates answer a range of questions targeting an intermediate level of proficiency. Candidates will need to demonstrate knowledge about the framework, building Azure infrastructure, application designs using Azure apps, and show an ability to provide a high level of support for running on Azure.

The test is designed to indicate how well a candidate understands the Microsoft Azure platform 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 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 Microsoft Azure and psychometric experts, and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying levels of Microsoft Azure 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 candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of Microsoft Azure proficiency and feels the test is high quality.

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