About the Java test

The Java test assesses a candidate’s ability to write, debug, and optimize code in Java, covering fundamental programming concepts, object-oriented principles, and advanced Java features. A strong understanding of Java syntax, data types, operators, and control flow is essential for success.

The test also covers core object-oriented principles, including inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate their knowledge of common Java libraries, such as the Collections Framework and Java Streams, which are used to work with data structures and perform operations efficiently.

In addition to object-oriented concepts, the test includes topics related to functional programming features introduced in Java 8, such as lambda expressions, functional interfaces, and the Stream API. The test also evaluates your understanding of exception handling, threading, and concurrency, which are crucial for building high-performance, multi-threaded applications.

Memory management and garbage collection are also assessed, with a focus on writing efficient code that minimizes memory usage and avoids memory leaks. Furthermore, candidates will be evaluated on their familiarity with databases, particularly SQL and JDBC, for interacting with relational databases. The test includes questions on how to connect, retrieve, and manipulate data within databases using Java.

Knowledge of design patterns, such as Singleton, Factory, and Observer, is also critical in demonstrating your ability to create scalable, maintainable applications. Test questions may also cover Java development tools, such as IDEs (Integrated Development Environments), build automation tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle), and version control systems (e.g., Git).

Finally, proficiency in unit testing frameworks, like JUnit, and understanding best practices in writing clean, efficient, and reusable code will be evaluated.
