About the Django test
The Django test is designed to assess a candidate’s proficiency in working with the Django web framework, one of the most popular frameworks for building web applications and APIs. The test covers the essential skills needed to develop, deploy, and maintain Django-based applications.
The test begins by evaluating candidates’ understanding of core Django concepts, such as the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, which is implemented in Django through its MTV (Model-Template-View) pattern. Candidates should demonstrate an understanding of how Django’s components interact and how to structure a project efficiently.
A major focus of the test is on working with models. Candidates will be assessed on their understanding of Django’s Object-Relational Mapping (ORM), which enables interaction with databases using Python objects. This section covers how to define models, create migrations, and efficiently query the database using Django’s ORM.
The test also explores how candidates work with views and templates. These are essential for rendering dynamic content and providing user-friendly interfaces. Candidates must show their ability to handle HTTP requests and responses, as well as how to organize URLs for routing.
Another key area of the test is Django’s form handling system. Candidates will be evaluated on how they manage user input, validate data, and handle forms securely.
Security is a crucial aspect of Django development, and the test includes questions on protecting web applications from common vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). The test also covers Django’s authentication system, including user management and permissions, assessing candidates’ ability to implement secure login, registration, and session management.
The Django admin interface, which simplifies the management of database models, is another focus. Candidates should understand how to customize this interface for better usability and efficiency.
Additionally, the test evaluates candidates’ knowledge of working with APIs, especially the Django REST Framework (DRF), which is commonly used to build RESTful APIs. Candidates should be familiar with serialization, viewsets, and API routing.
Finally, the test covers deployment and performance optimization. Candidates should demonstrate an understanding of deploying Django applications to production environments and optimizing their performance using techniques such as caching and query optimization.
