How Test Classes Are Evaluated

Assessment follows these rules:

• Tests will be read and assessed whenever test code is checked in.
• The assessor will decide whether your tests achieve a given objective.
• The assessor will always try to give you credit when your tests make an effort to achieve an objective.
• In order to be accepted, test classes must meet all of the objectives in Initiate Tests and Run Tests.
• Additionally, aiming to meet the objectives in Format Tests is highly recommended. Well-formatted tests are much easier to write. Use this to your advantage.

All assessment is done by the same team member so that the framework can be applied evenly across the team.

We encourage two-way communication between yourself and the assessor. The assessor will provide feedback about each test class, which may include fixes to implement before the test class is accepted. On the other hand, you should feel free to contact the assessor at any time to ask questions or discuss concerns.

Don't be freaked out by the word "assessed". The assessor's job is to support you. Feel free to ask questions and talk about difficulties you are encountering. Assessments do not affect your job. We're assessing tests to compare the quality of our test classes, not the quality of our developers.
