Many employers tarnish their brands by using platforms that are confusing, tedious, and insulting to experienced developers. > Very bad experience writing test of [@devskiller](https://twitter.com/devskiller?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw).

Make sure they solved all challenges and answered all questions. Go into a candidate's report and see if anything is missing. 2. If the candidate claims their code is correct, click a specific challenge in their report and run the test cases yourself. See if their output matches the expected output for each test case. 3. If the candidate claimed they had issues in the editor, watch the video recording to see if they ran into any issues or bugs. Of course, our system isn’t perfect and we are more than happy to look into issues. If the above steps did not work, please submit a report below and we will look into it immediately.     - [Getting started](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Learn More](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#learn-more) - [Switching to Coderbyte](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#switching-to-coderbyte) - [Guides](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#guides) - [Screening](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/screening?hsLang=en) - [Assessments](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overview](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#overview) - [Code editor](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#code-editor) - [Reports and analytics](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#reports-and-analytics) - [Candidate Experience](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#candidate-experience) - [Settings and options](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#settings-and-options) - [Interviews](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Settings and options](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#settings-and-options) - [Code editor](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#code-editor) - [Reports and analytics](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#reports-and-analytics) - [Custom Library](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/custom-library?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Challenges & Projects](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/custom-library?hsLang=en#challenges-projects) - [Files](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/custom-library?hsLang=en#files) - [Account Management](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/account-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Users & Workspaces](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/account-management?hsLang=en#users-workspaces) - [Plan & Billing](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/account-management?hsLang=en#plan-billing) - [API & Integrations](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/api-integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Integration types](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/api-integrations?hsLang=en#integration-types) - [Integration tutorials](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/api-integrations?hsLang=en#integration-tutorials) [![coderbyte\_logo\_digital\_navy (1)](https://help.coderbyte.com/hs-fs/hubfs/coderbyte_logo_digital_navy%20(1).png?width=128&height=34&name=coderbyte_logo_digital_navy%20(1).png "coderbyte_logo_digital_navy (1)")](https://coderbyte.com) Coderbyte Help Center Copyright © 2025, Coderbyte
