Coding Assessment Platform

Test developers on real-world coding tasks, not whiteboard puzzles. Reading code, debugging, system design — closer to the actual job.

AssessExpert's coding assessment platform tests developers on tasks closer to the real job than the standard whiteboard interview — reading and modifying existing code, debugging broken tests, and small system design exercises. Sessions are proctored, scoring is rubric-driven, and reports are written so engineering leads can defend the decision.

What we test instead of LeetCode

Reading and modifying existing code — closer to real engineering work than greenfield problems. Debugging a broken test suite — a daily skill that nobody else screens for. Designing a small system with realistic constraints — architecture sense. Communication about technical tradeoffs — how the candidate explains, not just what they say.

Language and stack coverage

Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, C#, Ruby, PHP, SQL, and shell. Frontend (React) and backend stacks. Database design. DevOps and infrastructure topics. Custom stacks supported through our Exam Setup team.

AI-tool detection

Candidates pasting questions into AI tools generate distinctive signal — tab switches, typing patterns inconsistent with reading, abrupt answer arrivals. AssessExpert flags these for review rather than auto-disqualifying. A human proctor makes the final call.

What you get

FAQ

Common questions

Should candidates be allowed to use AI tools in the test?

If they will use them on the job, yes — and the test difficulty is adjusted accordingly. We support both modes.

Do you support pair programming?

For final-round interviews, yes. The initial assessment is candidate-led.

Can we use our own coding tasks?

Yes. Bring tasks and we will configure them in the platform.
