My partner was notified that he didn't make it past the coding test during a job interview process. He was thrown off in the beginning of the assignment by lack of instructions, but besides that I know he is a skilled developer. He hasn't asked them what exactly he lacked but I'm curious now. What's expected of the interviewee in a coding test?

This makes me feel threatened for the interview processes I'll need to go through soon myself.

    Coding tests I conduct are pretty simple (web Dev)

    Look at style of coding (tabs or spaces.. Kidding)
    Code commenting
    Doing a task with the least amount of code.
    Documentation (simple docs)

    Those are basics of what I look at. Not sure about bigger corps

    @uziiuzair Thanks for sharing. Those are what I aspire to be great at too. I'll have to dive right in and experience it first-hand to see my chances.

    @hyejeejung just make sure you use tabs!

    Every place will have their own metrics, but I look for general computer science knowledge, readability and if they're writing procedural code or actual object oriented code.
