The Scala online test assesses knowledge of programming in the Scala language and commonly used parts of the Scala and Java frameworks' class library. This test requires solving live coding problems in Scala.
The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:
- Using OOP principles in Scala to write reusable code.
- Working with proper immutable collections to improve code maintainability.
- Handling exceptions in the Scala way.
A good Scala developer needs a solid understanding of the Scala programming language and the ability to take advantage of the functionality provided by Scala and the framework’s class library to write robust and maintainable code.
Sample public questions
As part of a data processing pipeline, complete the implementation of the makePipeline function:
- The makePipeline function should accept a variable number of functions, and it should return a new function that accepts one parameter arg.
- The returned function should call the first function in makePipeline with the parameter arg, and call the second function with the result of the first function.
- The returned function should continue calling each function in makePipeline in order, following the same pattern, and return the value from the last function.
For example, calling makePipeline((x: Int) => x * 3, (x: Int) => x + 1, (x: Int) => x / 2), and then calling the returned function with 3 should return 5.
The code for the PlayerInventory class is not working. When a user starts a new account, PlayerInventory is initialized with basic items. It should also be possible to add and drop items from the inventory, with duplicate items added and removed separately.
For example, if "lumber" was added to the inventory and "stone" was removed, getItems() should return a Vector containing "lumber", "magic potion", and "lumber", in any order.

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
