The coding tests and whiteboard sessions are necessary because there are no standards in the software development industry. There is no license, no standardized test, no nothing for me to judge if you're a liar or the greatest thing to show up for an interview. There is no professional developer license like a professional engineer license and exam, which helps me distinguish between you being a beginner or a senior/lead developer. Without professional standards, all developers will continue to need to show who they are and what they can do.
