Evaluate More Thana Single Algorithm Question
TestHike is a technical assessment platform that evaluates coding ability, technical knowledge, and applied judgment in one assessment — not just a single algorithm question.
What is a technical assessment platform?
A technical assessment platform is software that measures engineering-relevant skill through one or more structured tasks — commonly coding exercises, technical multiple-choice questions, and written responses — scored automatically or by a reviewer, and combined into a single weighted result.
A Coding Question Alone Doesn't Tell the Whole Story
A single algorithm question tests one narrow skill. It doesn't show whether a candidate understands the tradeoffs behind their code, can reason about a system, or communicates a technical decision clearly in writing. For many roles, especially senior ones, that context matters as much as the code itself.
TestHike lets you combine question types — coding, multiple-choice, and written — in one assessment, each weighted according to what actually matters for the role. A backend role might weight coding heavily; a technical lead role might weight written judgment more.
- Coding questions, scored by test cases passed
- Technical multiple-choice questions, scored right or wrong
- Written questions, scored by a reviewer on your team
- Every question weighted, weights always summing to 100%

Coding and multiple-choice questions score instantly. Once written answers are reviewed, the final weighted score is ready in your dashboard.
Auto-calculatedCommon Questions About Technical Assessments
What is a technical assessment platform?
A technical assessment platform evaluates engineering-relevant skill beyond a single coding question — combining coding tasks, technical multiple-choice questions, and written responses into one graded assessment, weighted however an organization decides.
How is a technical assessment different from a coding test?
A coding test usually measures one skill: can this person write working code for a specific problem. A technical assessment can additionally measure conceptual knowledge, debugging judgment, or system-level thinking through mixed question types in the same session.
Can I mix coding, multiple-choice, and written questions in one assessment?
Yes. TestHike lets you combine question types in a single assessment. Each question gets its own weight, and every assessment's weights must total 100%, so the final score reflects exactly how you chose to balance the skills being tested.
Who scores the written questions?
A reviewer on your team scores written questions manually inside the dashboard. Until scored, they contribute zero to the final result — the score recalculates automatically the moment a reviewer submits a grade.
Is TestHike suitable for senior or specialized engineering roles?
Yes. Because you write your own coding tasks and combine them with written or conceptual questions, TestHike can be configured for anything from an entry-level screen to a senior-level technical assessment built around your actual stack.
