Topic: Evaluating Applicants for Automation Positions

Message

Because the script would be done on our test environment, it would have
to be done here. But my plan was to give them 2-4 hours in my lab with
all the software, hardware, etc that they could possibly need. Add to
that, access to coffee, water, chocolate - all those necessary items in
life.

My
goal isn't to get a completed script out of this exercise - it's to see
the quality of the code they complete. I would rather see 20 lines of
neat, commented, maintainable code as a result, than 500 lines of
tweaked record and playback junk that will have to be redone on every
release cycle.
