When to use developer test
An assessment should make the expected work and evaluation criteria clear. A long unpaid production task deserves scrutiny, even when described as a test.
Compare the exercise with the role and agree scope before starting.
A practical example of developer test
Before accepting an exercise, a candidate asks which skills it assesses, the expected effort, how the work will be reviewed and whether submitted code will be used commercially.
