About the Spring test

The Spring framework is perhaps the most commonly used dependency injection framework in use by Java. In addition to its IOC capabilities, Spring also provides a lot of other features that are relevant to enterprise software development, such as database access abstractions, testing capabilities, and aspects.

This Spring test walks the test-taker through questions they would be expected to know the answers to if they are going to be using Spring as a development framework in an enterprise setting. Most bigger companies and financial institutions will find this useful to evaluate candidates who will work on their internal systems that are written in Java.

Specifically, this screening test evaluates candidates in the fundamentals of the Spring framework, Spring Data, Spring Security, and Spring Boot.

Test-takers who do well on this test have a good grasp of Spring. They can create a Spring application from scratch, configure applications across different environments, write tests for the applications, access databases, implement logging, as well as make the application very configurable as per the enterprise requirements.

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.
