A DevSkiller PHP coding test interview works by evaluating the performance of candidates in a controlled test environment. The RealLifeTesting™ methodology allows businesses to implement PHP based interview questions into real-world situations and assess each candidate’s skill set much more accurately than with basic PHP algorithm interview questions.
PHP, standing for ‘Personal Home Page’, is a script programming language that has been used in web development and content management systems for over 20 years. It is also used in robotic applications and common line scripting making it very versatile. It is therefore important for a good PHP developer to be aware of PHP’s many uses and be able to accurately implement and adapt their skills for the needs of your business. Due to the fact that PHP is a very versatile language, over the years, it has evolved to include many subtleties that a good PHP developer will not only need to understand but will also have to be able to work with effectively.
PHP developers should also possess a very good understanding of HTTP protocol and ideally be familiar with RDBMS (Relational Database Management System).
DevSkiller PHP coding test questions are completely customizable, allowing you to control the duration and parameters of each PHP coding test interview. This means you can assess a potential PHP developer in real-time, while they perform tasks that reflect the work they will actually be doing day to day. DevSkiller PHP development interview questions can help you find your next PHP developer today.
Knowing what is right for your business can be a big step. Before you make a decision on our PHP coding test questions just listen to what some of our existing clients have to say:
Kodilla is a coding boot camp supporting graduates in finding their first IT job, with many graduates going on to work for Aviva, Amazon, IBM, and many more. Before implementing DevSkiller’s testing process, Kodilla’s examiners used to spend approximately 30 minutes grading the tests of every student. This put a lot of unnecessary strain on their team, not to mention inaccuracy in grading, then they turned to DevSkiller.
“Using DevSkiller to grade tests is 2 times more cost-efficient while giving our students a much better test and preparing them for future recruitment tests.”
Criteo is a global leader in commerce marketing. Before implementing DevSkiller, the company used to screen technical candidates by sending them a case study to complete at home. This method was time-consuming and offered little insight into how long the work had taken each candidate; making the hiring process ineffective.
“We use DevSkiller in 15 locations around our 3 regions (US/APAC/ EMEA). We have 7 frequent users in TA (recruiters) across our regions and our technical hiring manager users rotate depending on current needs. More than 30 have logged into the platform once to review an assignment or create a test.”
The RealLifeTestingTM methodology is at the center of all DevSkiller PHP developer interview questions. What sets the RealLifeTestingTM methodology apart from simple algorithm tests, is its ability to be able to replicate real scenarios that your candidates would be likely to face every day. The tests reflect the actual tasks PHP developers would be required to carry out.
PHP developer questions are assessed based on the accuracy of the solutions each candidate has presented, to the tasks they have been faced with. This includes how accurate the coding they have provided is.
One huge advantage the DevSkiller platform has is that it operates automatically, meaning it gets to work immediately once a test is completed. This not only means candidates can take the test at a time that is convenient to them, but it also means that the results can then be generated automatically speeding up the whole recruitment process.
DevSkiller’s PHP developer tests can be taken remotely, whenever and wherever is convenient for the candidate; all the candidates need to get started is a link to the test. Once the test commences, each candidate has an allocated amount of time to complete the tasks.
Tests are carried out on state of the art in-browser IDE, or if they would rather, candidates can complete the project on their preferred IDE and then clone the project to GIT. Tests are then automatically assessed and a report on how each subject has performed is then automatically generated and sent to the recruiter.
