What gets scored
A scoring syllabus, not a vague impression.
Scoring syllabus
7 graded modules
01Requirements and feasibility analysis
15%
Can you turn user needs into testable requirements, and judge honestly whether a design fits the available time, cost, and processing limitations before committing to it?
02Design and technical depth
15%
Do you reason about alternatives, data flows, interfaces, and failure modes — and can you justify the design you chose against the ones you rejected?
03Working with existing systems
14%
Evidence you can read unfamiliar code, correct errors, adapt software to new hardware or interfaces, and improve performance without breaking behavior users depend on.
04Testing, validation, and documentation
14%
Whether you build test and validation procedures as part of the work, define what 'done' means, and leave documentation an operator or successor can actually use.
05Performance standards and monitoring
14%
Do you set measurable targets, instrument systems, and verify that behavior stays in conformance with specification after installation?
06Consultation and cross-role communication
14%
How well you confer with systems analysts, engineers, project managers, and customers on status, technical issues, and constraints — in language each audience can act on.
07Delivery judgment under constraint
14%
Estimation honesty, prioritization by risk, handling of incidents, and willingness to raise problems early rather than absorb them silently.
Sample questions
- 1.Walk me through how you take a vague user request and turn it into a software requirement you can actually build against.
- 2.Tell me about a time you told a stakeholder a requested feature wasn't feasible within the time or cost available.
