You expect people to write documentation and tests for an interview coding challenge? I sure hope you mention that expectation or at least strongly hint that you're looking for a production-ready coding mindset. It would never in a million years occur to me to write documentation or tests for an interview coding challenge.
- scaryclam 10y agoThis honestly surprises me. The coding challenges are pretty much always simple enough for a junior to complete. The only way I've ever seen to set yourself apart from the bottom half of applicants is to include tests, comments and even documentation. I also wouldn't expect that to be in the instructions, otherwise everyone would do it and you'd be harder pressed to find candidates to eliminate. I'm curious to know if completing the challenges without tests etc is commonplace. Does anyone else think it's an odd thing to expect?
