With Project Tasks you have the possibility to gain new insight when testing Mid/Senior Developers who are used to working this way during their day-to-day job.
What is the difference between a multi-file interface for existing tasks and Project Task?
- Visual change for problem-solving/SQL tasks in Codility library
- Adding test cases moved from the bottom-left corner into a file (which is more natural for devs)
- Adding/deleting/renaming/moving files and folders is not possible
- Completely new task in the library
- Adding/deleting/renaming/moving files is required to solve the task
- It's possible to manage files from tabs (similar to switching between opened websites in a web browser)
- Extremely close to tasks developers solve in daily work
What is the best use case for Project Tasks?
Project Tasks are the most useful during the recruitment of Mid and Senior candidates. We strongly advise against using them in campus recruitment or any large-scale events.
What is the difference between existing real-life tasks and Project Task?
- Project Tasks will have a natural, multi-file project structure, which replicates pretty closely things that developers do in their daily work (which means working with the complex codebase and applying changes by adding/refactoring a lot of files with every change)
- Project Tasks can give you now new insights - e.g. ‘how is the candidate able to structure their code?’
Should I expect existing real-life tasks to be refactored?
No, our goal is to keep on creating new tasks, made with multi-file support in mind from the ground up.
What about the report?
To review the candidate's multifile project, you will be able to download the code in a zip file
What about accessibility mode for Project Tasks?
While designing the new interface, we made sure that all accessibility requirements are implemented.
Can I use Project Tasks in Interviews?
Yes, our Project Tasks are supported for use in the Interview environment!
