About the Terraform test

Terraform has revolutionized the DevOps field by changing the way the infrastructure is managed, enabling DevOps to be performed faster and more efficiently. Terraform is an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows you to build, change, and version infrastructure safely and efficiently. This includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries and SaaS features. Hiring someone with strong technical knowledge of Terraform will provide your business with the tools to manage existing service providers, produce custom, in-house solutions, and allow for the automation of infrastructure.

This Terraform test evaluates candidates’ understanding of Terraform fundamentals, as well as their ability to use the Terraform CLI and workflow. In addition, this Terraform test evaluates candidates’ ability to read, generate, and modify configuration in Terraform, and their mastery of Terraform modules, Cloud, and Enterprise capabilities.

Candidates who perform well on this test have hands-on experience with Terraform and a deep understanding of it. They have two to three years’ experience and they know how to use Terraform to code infrastructure. This test ensures that these candidates have all the technical skills needed to move your company’s vision for infrastructure forward.

Michiel S.

Intuitive initial setup, took me less than 30 minutes. Within an hour we had the first candidate tested. I really like the ability to add custom questions to the test, it enables us to not only test job-specific skills but also assess a candidate’s fit with our company culture.

We were hiring because we needed more staff to deliver the level of service to our customers we commit to. This means time is valuable and finding time to create bespoke aptitude tests is difficult. TestGorrilla did that for us and did a good job too.

Overall it was very satisfactory, you can have your first assessment created, and shared within 10 minutes, and the screening questions, welcome video and anti-cheating functionality is great
I enjoyed the simplicity in creating, and sharing the assessments for our business. We created assessments across 2 different concurrent roles, and it was easy to distinguish and work through the setup, sharing and results.

FAQs

What is the difference between an assessment and a test?
An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.
Can I add my own questions to an assessment?
Yes! Custom questions are great for testing candidates in your own unique way. We support the following question types: video, multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Besides adding your own custom questions, you can also create your own tests.
How do video questions work?
A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now." You can learn more about video questions here.
Can you explain how the other custom question types work?
Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
Can I customize an assessment with my company logo and color theme?
Yes! You can add your own logo and company color theme to your assessments. This is a great way to leave a positive and lasting brand impression on your candidates.
What type of support do you offer?
Our team is always here to help. After you sign up, we’ll reach out to guide you through the first steps of setting up your TestGorilla account. If you have any further questions, you can contact our support team via email, chat or call. We also offer detailed guides in our extensive Help & Inspiration Center.
What is the cost for using the Terraform test?
You can find our pricing packages here. Sign up here to try TestGorilla today.
Can I combine the Terraform test with other tests?
Yes. You can add up to five tests to each assessment.
Where in my recruitment process should I use the Terraform test?
We recommend using our assessment software as a pre-screening tool at the beginning of your recruitment process. You can add a link to the assessment in your job post or directly invite candidates by email. TestGorilla replaces traditional CV screening with a much more reliable and efficient process, designed to find the most skilled candidates earlier and faster.
