I get where you are coming from and agree with the sentiment, but disagree on the specifics. > Every company use different technology and different way to do things To a small extent, but mostly untrue. If you are an expert UI programmer, you should be able to move between disparate UI technologies relatively easily. > With a standardize test People aren't upset with the standardized test part. They are upset it (frequently) tests things that are not relevant. Hard things at that. There are an extensive number of practical, language / framework agnostic questions you can ask about UI or back-end programming that will easily tease out quality candidates. Instead they ask you merge sort. Hence people complain.
