We employ test to filter out those who can't. The tests are designed to be very low effort for those who can and too much effort for those who can't.

Here is an example for java web application developer on an Oracle project:

We only work with contractors who can use the tools we use, to determine if you can use the tools we have devised some very simple tests.

Instructions

If you are prepared and knowledgeable this will take you about 2-5 minutes.

Suggested knowledge and tools:

* subversion 1.6 see http://subversion.tigris.org/ or http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
* java 1.6 see http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
* oracle >=10g see http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/index.html
* j2ee server see http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi or http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/

Steps
1. check out svn://statics32.pdinc.us/home/subversion/guest
2. deploy the war file found at trunk/test.war
3. browse to the web application you installed from the war file and answer the one SQL question: How many rows are in the table 'testdata' where column 'value' ends with either an 'A' or an 'a'? The login credentials are in trunk/doc/oracle.txt
4. make a RESULTS HASH by submitting your answer to the form.
5. create a file in tmp/YourUserName.txt and put the RESULTS HASH in it, not the answer.
6. check in your file (don't forget to add the file first).
7. message me with the revision number of your check in.

As such I am looking for ideas on how to test for someone to be a struts 2.1 w/ annotations.
