About the Bash test
Bash is a command processor where users type commands and run scripts to cause actions in computers and server networks. Bash is widely used in Linux distributions and is also used in Mac and Windows systems. A skilled Bash practitioner can transform a business’s use of automation and directory manipulation to greatly improve productivity.
This Bash test provides a comprehensive overview of intermediate Bash skills. The major skill areas covered are basic commands; users, groups, and permissions; pipes, redirection, and regex; and Bash environment and scripts. Knowledge of these topics is essential for a Bash user who can start making a positive impact on your business from day one.
Although Bash is frequently used to manage standard Linux servers, it is also required to implement cutting-edge technology improvements like automation, version control, and Docker. Bash aids developers and administrators of all kinds, including database administrators, data scientists, and most other IT professionals.
Learning and mastering Bash is a long journey. But hiring with this Bash test will help you to identify candidates with solid foundational knowledge and skills for intermediate Bash operations and the ability to apply existing Bash tools to solve problems encountered by businesses around the world.
The test is made by a subject-matter expert
Jasenko K.
Jasenko fell in love with computers when he got his hands on his first C-64 as a young man in 1986! Since then, Jasenko earned a master’s degree in electronic and telecommunications and specializes in designing and administering Linux databases as well as scripting.
He uses his deep Bash knowledge to implement clever solutions and teach others how Bash can improve effectiveness and efficiency. In his spare time, Jasenko plays tennis, discusses history and spends time by the sea.

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.
