About the Django REST Framework (DRF) test
The Python/Django stack has become one of the most relevant frameworks for creating APIs. It is very powerful but has a fairly steep learning curve. Screening your candidates is, therefore, very important.
This test not only measures the candidate’s technical knowledge of the Django REST Framework but also gauges their judgment in various scenarios that mimic frequently-encountered real-world situations. Additionally, the test covers best practices regarding performance, code architecture, the API interface, and API documentation.
Some questions use range scoring. In that case, full points are awarded to the best answer, and some points are awarded to other answers that have some merit. This is relevant in situational judgment questions.
Some of the questions that are included are for highly skilled candidates as those questions address specifics of DRF that only very experienced developers will know. Therefore, candidates with a perfect score are true DRF wizards.
The test is made by a subject-matter expert
J. Carlos C.T.
Computer engineer Carlos’ accomplishments go far beyond earning an International PhD in Engineering and an Executive MBA. He’s also backed by 16 years of professional experience as a full stack software developer.
For the last several years, Carlos has been focusing on Python, Django, Django REST framework, and Angular 2 to 9. Currently managing a team of 30 engineers, he spends the bulk of his time and know-how on the development of web and app ad-hoc software such as SPAs and APIs.

What our customers are saying
TestGorilla helps me to assess engineers rapidly. Creating assessments for different positions is easy due to pre-existing templates. You can create an assessment in less than 2 minutes. The interface is intuitive and it’s easy to visualize results per assessment.

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.
