How Codeaid Works

Let’s put your candidates to the test. A real test that measures what matters.

With our Git-based testing platform, you can assess your candidates’ skills and how they use them to solve problems and build the functional software you need.

What is Git?

Git is a free, open source and the most popular distributed version control system that records changes made to code over time.

It has a unique data model in that each developer has their own copy of the project and can make changes to it without affecting the main project. When ready, developers can push their changes to the repository.

Why Codeaid Uses Git?

Codeaid’s Git-based system replicates the same workflow that developers and engineers would use in real-life projects, simulating an environment that is as close to an actual work environment as possible.

By using a Git-based system, Codeaid can also measure the developer’s Git knowledge and understanding – which is a mandatory skill itself for most development roles.

What Is the Testing Process?

Step 1

Once a Codeaid account has been set up, you can get started right away and invite your candidates to take a test.

The email invite will include a short introduction, a link to where they can view the instructions, details about the challenge, and a prompt to begin the challenge.

Step 2

Once the challenge begins, the countdown of the timer will begin and a repository of all the challenge files are generated and shared with the candidate.

Step 3

The candidate will work on the task and submit the code based on the challenge instructions.

Step 4

Challenges are kept as close to the real thing as possible, and that means no artificial single-session constraints.

Candidates are free to push their code more than once or in sessions (just as they would in a natural work environment) until they are ready to submit their final code. Once ready, they complete the task by clicking on the Submit Challenge button.

Step 5

After the challenge is submitted, Codeaid will automatically grade the test, and you will receive a notification that the test has been completed along with a grading summary.

This will include the candidate’s details, the test details, a timeline of the start and end dates, and their final grade.
