Coding tests are completely useless unless the company doing the assessment can clearly explain up front their method for assessing the code. I did a coding test once that was organised, met the requirements of the test spec, was documented, included tests and in identified and solved an inconsistency in the test spec. The feedback from the employer "they didn't like your code" - right there is the point at which I realised that coding tests are, without a quantifiable, systematic assessment method, complete garbage.
