What is a Drupal developer test?

The Drupal developer test is a pre-employment assessment that is used to evaluate candidates on the skills, abilities, and competencies that they need to be able to use Drupal in the workplace.

The multiple-choice test assesses the candidate’s understanding of the core principles of Drupal and how they are applied to get the right results, and it can be taken at home and in their own time so it is convenient for both the candidate and the recruitment team.

To do well, the candidate must demonstrate that they understand the framework of the software, are confident in using PHP-based applications, and that they can navigate the modules and layers effectively.

Tests like the Drupal developer test are becoming more commonly used in recruitment because they offer an unbiased way to get quantifiable data that can differentiate between candidates who are similarly qualified - making the recruitment process faster, cheaper, and more efficient.

About the Drupal Developer Test

The Drupal developer test can be administered to a large number of candidates at the same time. Each candidate has the same content to answer questions about - and the results will inform the recruiters which candidates have the necessary knowledge of the subject as well as the ability to apply that knowledge in a workplace situation. This data can be invaluable when selecting the best candidates to take forward to the interview stage.

What is the purpose of a content type in Drupal?

  • To define the visual appearance of a website.
  • To manage the structure and behavior of content.
  • To control user access and permissions.
  • To handle server-side scripting and database operations.

Why should you use a Drupal developer test?

As a free, open-source language, finding candidates who have a recognized qualification in Drupal might not be simple. In most cases, recruitment teams are looking for candidates who hold a degree in something like computer science, programming or software engineering, relying on previous experience with Drupal to be part of the essential criteria.

However, after the initial paper sift, the number of seemingly similarly qualified candidates can still be high - and that is where the pre-employment Drupal assessment can help.

Each candidate that remains after the paper sift is complete will receive a link to the test, which they can complete when it suits them.

The content of the assessment is designed to look into not only theoretical knowledge and understanding of Drupal, but also how the software is best used to solve problems, create websites, and make useful applications. They also need to show that they understand the way that the core modules can be used and applied to get the right content on a website, blog, or corporate intranet.

The candidate will also be able to show that they can build dynamic websites using Drupal, and understand the difference between static CMS software and the tools that are in Drupal.

Once the test is complete, the recruitment team will receive the results - and they can see in the data which candidates have achieved the required level to be taken further in the recruitment process. These are the candidates who are able to develop core site structures, create reliable site assets, and troubleshoot bugs to prevent delays.

The candidates who have reached or exceeded the set benchmark score are the ones who are most likely to be successful in the role, and should be the ones that are taken to the next stage in the recruitment process.

How our test assesses Drupal developer skills

In Neuroworx’s Drupal developer test, candidates will need to answer a range of questions targeting an intermediate level of proficiency, from demonstrating knowledge about the software to interpreting code to solve common issues.

The test is designed to indicate how well a candidate understands Drupal based on a final test score, which can then be compared to the scores of other applicants.

The multiple-choice questions consist of one correct answer and two to four distractors. The distractors are mostly generic mistakes or misconceptions, which makes the test challenging and helps measure a candidate’s proficiency more accurately.

During the development process, the test was rigorously analyzed to maximize reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. It was created and tested by programmers and psychometric experts, and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying Drupal experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.

Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each programmer has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of Drupal proficiency and feels the test is of high quality.

Our programming tests are monitored to ensure they are up-to-date and optimized for performance.
