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.
