الإجابة المختصرة

The Drupal test is a 10-minute, 15-question multiple-choice hiring assessment of custom modules, theming, site building, maintenance and integrations. Its questions use short code, configuration and command snippets to test practical Drupal knowledge. It is intended for intermediate Drupal developers, web developers, site builders and web architects working with Drupal 10 or later.

ما الذي يقيسه

Practical Drupal knowledge: custom modules, theming, site building, and site maintenance and integrations.

Custom module development

Candidates reason about writing custom modules from short Drupal code snippets.

Theming and templates

Questions cover building themes and templates, including work with Twig.

Building sites from configuration

Candidates consider assembling sites from content types, fields and views.

Maintenance and integrations

Questions address keeping a Drupal site updated and connecting it to other systems.

Question formats

Multiple choice

The candidate: Reads a short situation, table or statement and picks the right answer, or every right answer.

You see: Whether the candidate knows the material well enough to apply it, not just recognize it.

15 questions in 10 minutes, served one at a time.

Roles this test fits

Drupal developers, back-end and full-stack web developers, front-end developers who theme Drupal sites, site builders and web architects working with Drupal 10 or later.

Evidence of practical Drupal work

  1. See reasoning from snippets

    Short code, configuration and command snippets let candidates show how they approach real Drupal work, rather than only describing it on a resume.

  2. Check configuration choices

    Questions on content types, fields and views show how candidates think about assembling a Drupal site from configuration.

  3. Upkeep, not just building

    Maintenance and integration questions show whether a candidate can keep a Drupal 10 or later site updated and connected to other systems after launch.

  4. Theming as well as module code

    Theming and template questions show front-end Drupal skill alongside custom module work, useful when one developer covers both.

Assessment integrity signals

Each candidate receives a different set of questions from large pools. Questions appear in a different order for each attempt, and answer options are shuffled. The browser shows one question at a time; timing runs on the server, and reloading restores the same question with only the time left. Candidates cannot go back to an earlier question. Question text cannot be copied or selected, and a blocked copy attempt is recorded. HireValid summarizes signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers and answers given faster than a question can be read in an Integrity Score and evidence timeline for employer review. It does not decide on its own. With candidate consent, an employer can add webcam photos at random moments. Read the candidate-friendly hiring guide and how the tests are built.

Use the score as one signal

Review the score and evidence in context; it is not a hiring decision. Pair it with a work sample that asks candidates to build or review a Drupal feature, then use a structured interview to explore their choices. Compare the work sample with evidence from the test, including the candidate's reasoning about modules, configuration, templates and site maintenance. For related hiring assessments, see WordPress Developer and the pre-employment testing guide.

أسئلة المقابلة المنظّمة

  1. How would you assemble an events listing in Drupal for a team to maintain?

    Listen for a clear account of content types, fields and views, grounded in the needs of the example.

  2. Walk me through how you would approach a custom module for a site feature.

    Ask the candidate to explain their code and configuration choices using a concrete example.

  3. How would you adapt a theme and templates for a product guide?

    Listen for an explanation of the template work and how it fits the example site.

  4. How would you plan site updates while connecting Drupal to another system?

    Look for a practical explanation of the maintenance and integration work involved.

Fairness and accommodations

Questions use neutral sample sites such as a library catalog, an events listing or a product guide, with no local knowledge, idioms or culture-specific references. Code samples are short and plainly formatted, and the reading level stays at what a working developer reads daily. Each question is drawn from a large pool so candidates rarely see the same set.

You can give any candidate extra time as an accommodation. Results are evidence for a person to review, never an automatic decision.

Provisional: reliability is reported once 200 candidates have completed it.
