One of the building blocks of HackerRank for Work is the Question Library: a collection of all the questions accessible to a user. These questions are used in Tests and CodePair (our tool for technical phone interviews). We’ve just released a number of improvements to the Question Library interface to help make it easier for users to browse available questions, add them to Tests, and keep their personal Library more organized.
The first thing you will now notice is that the Library page is much faster to load. We’ve made some key optimizations and brought the page load time down by 75%. One of the reasons for this remarkable speedup is our use of pagination: you will now be able to view 10 questions at a time.
There are two other important feature enhancements in this release:
-
Add to Test: Now, you have an easy option to add questions from Library directly to any of your Tests. Previously, this was only possible from a Test’s question listing page.
- Archive Questions: Over time, a user’s personal Library can become cluttered. Some questions may not even be relevant anymore, or some may have just been used enough already. Users now have the ability to archive those questions. Archived questions will not be available to be added to future Tests or CodePair interviews. They are, however, still available through a separate link in the left-hand navigation bar, and can be restored to the active library at any time if needed.
