Introducing Role-based Assessments and Renaming SudoRank, DbRank, Front-end and DroidRank

Today we’re excited to share that we’re launching new Role-based Assessments to help all HackerRank customers—go beyond evaluating fundamental coding skills to—assess developers’ skills based on their job function. Front-end role-based assessments are available today. Back-end and Full-stack are available in Beta. As part of this launch, we are also renaming existing question types to improve alignment between the right job roles versus skill assessment.

  • SudoRank is now DevOps
  • DbRank is now Database Engineer
  • Front-end is now HTML/CSS/Javascript
  • DroidRank is now Android Developer

DevOps, Database Engineer, and Android Developer question types have also been moved under the new “Role-based” column inside the “Create a question” dialog.

This update doesn’t change the experience for these question types. They will continue to function as they do currently. Please reach out to support@hackerrank.com if you have any questions or concerns about this change.
