How our PHP online tests work
Devskiller’s range of PHP coding tests are powered by the RealLifeTesting™ methodology. In these tests, the candidates need to build or add new features to an existing piece of software using PHP and all its facets. Our range of online PHP tests let you test developers use frameworks and libraries such as Symfony, Zend Framework, Laravel Yii, and many more. Use these to create a test, and grade them on skills and abilities relevant to your business – coding skills, business logic, problem-solving, and deadlines.
Caratteristiche principali
- Genuine software development rather than academic problems
- Full-stack testing means candidates can use their comprehensive PHP skills
- These tests can be taken by candidates anytime, anywhere
- A natural work environment where the candidate can develop software, use their own IDE, clone to GIT, access Stack Overflow/Github/Google for research, and run unit tests means a better candidates experience
- Robust plagiarism controls verify the accuracy of your candidate’s skills
- Tests are evaluated automatically and instantly, producing a report that non-technical recruiters can understand.
- Tests for junior, middle, and senior developers
What to look for in a PHP developer
PHP is a script programming language used mainly in web development, content management systems, and frameworks, but can also be used in robotic applications and common line scripting. PHP is a popular programming language that was originally an acronym for ‘Personal Home Page’ and has been in use well over 20 years.
It’s important that your PHP developer is aware of its flexibility in developing web applications. Because of its versatility, it’s developed many nuances and subtleties, each developer possibly dealing with them in a different manner. Your PHP developer must not only know all these niches uses, but also be willing to change the way they work in order to work as part of your team.
Your PHP developer should have a thorough understanding of the HTTP protocol and be familiar, if not experienced with some RDBMS’ (Relational Database Management System)

Want proof that our PHP online tests really work?
Knowing where to invest your business’s money is a big decision and not one that should be taken lightly. At DevSkiller we’re sure that our PHP online tests are exactly what your company needs, but let’s let some of our past customers do the talking instead:
Magdalena Rogóż – Deputy Marketing Manager at Kodilla
“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.”
Victoria Cyczewska - Specialista nell'acquisizione di talenti presso Stepstone Services
"Ora abbiamo uno strumento che ci permette non solo di collaborare per creare test di valutazione delle competenze tecniche di cui abbiamo bisogno per crescere, ma anche di comunicare internamente ed esternamente (con i candidati). Inoltre, il nostro processo di reclutamento tecnico è ora più strutturato. Ad esempio, utilizziamo i risultati dello screening tecnico come spunto di conversazione durante i colloqui tecnici".
Ivana Nikolic - Responsabile delle risorse umane presso ImpacTech
"Il vantaggio maggiore per i candidati è che possono svolgere i test a loro piacimento. Nel caso in cui un candidato stia già lavorando e stia pensando di cambiare carriera o di trasferirsi in un'altra azienda, è anche un risparmio di tempo per lui, in quanto non deve prendersi delle ferie per partecipare a numerosi colloqui nella ricerca di una nuova posizione."
Domande frequenti
Che cos'è il RealLifeTestingTM?
Il test della vita reale™ methodology is the foundation of all DevSkiller PHP online tests. RealLifeTesting™ goes beyond coding tests and traditional algorithm puzzles to provide a holistic view of a developer’s skills. At its core, is the belief that the best way to assess a developer’s skills, is to challenge them with work similar to that which they will be expected to carry out. To that end, RealLifeTesting™ simulates the actual work environment of a PHP developer and sets them tasks based on this simulation.
To be successful developers need to demonstrate their knowledge of coding, be able to use resources like Stack Overflow and to find solutions to the problems they encounter. The best results reflect those who can demonstrate the best coding skill, decision making, code cleanliness, and problem-solving skills.

Devo essere un programmatore per usare DevSkiller?
Part of the aim of DevSkiller testing is that you don’t need to be an expert developer to be able to use our screening tool. We want recruitment managers who have little, to no experience in software development, to be able to experience just how effective our PHP online tests are. Our expert team has designed our DevSkiller testing to be as user-friendly as possible. Even our test results are generated automatically and presented in a report that is easy to understand for non-technical recruiters. If you have someone technical available you can custom build your own tests and set your own specifications, but if not, then our default tests are ready to go.
Cosa si fa contro il plagio?
Plagiarism can be a real issue when it comes to the validity of testing candidates. Fortunately at DevSkiller, we have been able to implement various anti-plagiarism tools to all but eliminate the problem.
During testing, our system automatically implements screen recording to check if the candidate is looking at a different screen when undertaking a test. We also use a range of social listening tools, check the candidate’s IP address, and use live pair notifications.
In addition, automatic checks are carried out on the candidate’s answers and entered code. The answers are then automatically cross-referenced with every answer we’ve received in the system and if there is a match we can categorically confirm that the candidate cheated.
