About the C# (coding): debugging test

C# is one of the most popular general-purpose, object-oriented programming languages. It has a variety of use cases, including mobile applications, game development, and enterprise software. This debugging test covers some important features of C#, like generics, indexers, conditional and looping constructs, and string manipulation.

The ability to understand and debug code is a critical skill for a successful C# developer. As new features are being developed, bugs may be introduced into the code, and it is important for a developer to be able to identify and fix them. Given the collaborative nature of software development, it is also critical to be able to work with and correct the code of other developers.

This test provides candidates a small piece of code that contains one or more bugs. The description clarifies the objective of the code and provides examples to illustrate how it should function. Candidates must then identify and fix the bugs.

Review from G2

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
