Prep-Intro: 5 mins
Development Time: 2 hrs for Junior devs increase this to 3 hrs for Senior devs reduce this to 1hr 30 mins
Code Review & Walkthrough: 20 mins
Interviewer Notes: This is an open test. Interviewee can use their own tools, libraries, books or internet sources to complete this task. Failure here is just as good as completing, we are looking to understand a coders ability to talk about what they have done, how they solved problems, what they weren’t able to achieve and how they would improve it.
Rails 4.x & Ruby 2.x should be used.
Requirements:
The user must be able to select the following colours: Red, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple The search must use a random one of the following nouns as a search term and the selected colour as a filter: man, mountain, state, ocean, country, building, cat, airline, wealth, happiness, pride, fear, religion, bird, book, phone, rice, snow, water. The colours must be presented as squares for the user to select The top 5 search result images need to be displayed The top search result needs to be able to be clicked by the user The link will take the user to the image’s url Show the list of previous searches in a dated list below Newest searches at the top Date, time, Noun, colour and http response time displayed clicking on a previous search should rerun the search Upload the working codeset to any online server (Heroku has free instances). Present the link & source code for review.
