BEFORE YOU START

Does this assess practical DevOps Support Engineer work?

Why is Jenkins included?

Checks knowledge of build pipelines and automated delivery with Jenkins. Ask them to explain build stages, failure handling and the checks needed before delivery. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.

The recommended selection contains 4 tests and allows 40 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.

Will I see a separate result for each test?
