About the Computer Systems Architecture test

The test assesses knowledge of the computer's internal organization, such as digital logic gates, flip flops, registers, and counters. It focuses on how the data is stored in the computer internally, how to troubleshoot the hardware, and how the hardware manipulates data.

This test also assesses knowledge of how instructions are executed inside the processor and how the processor coordinates with the rest of the components. The test is for intermediate-level test takers who may wish to study computer hardware in detail and troubleshoot the various parts of the system.

Review from G2
David Felipe C.

VP of engineering, mid-market (51-1000 FTE)

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.
