Test Insights

Last updated on Disponible en Français

The test Insights dashboard is a powerful tool that helps you monitor the quality and effectiveness of your tests over time. It provides actionable metrics on candidate activity, engagement, and performance.

The dashboard displays aggregated metrics based on the candidates visible in your test’s Candidates tab. You can view the following metrics in the dashboard:

  1. Candidate breakdown
    • Breakdown of candidates across different stages (Invited, Started, Completed, Reviewed).
    • You can switch between breakdowns by review status or custom tags.
  2. Open rate
    • Percentage of invited candidates who started the test.
    • Calculation: Started candidates ÷ Invited candidates (excluding bounced/canceled invitations).
  3. Completion rate
    • Percentage of candidates who finished the test after starting.
    • Calculation: Completed candidates ÷ Started candidates.
The image shows a CoderPad dashboard for an Autonomous Driving internship program for 2024 candidates. The interface displays the "Insights" tab with a breakdown of candidate statistics:

Total Candidates: 598
- Completed: 412 (69%)
- Expired: 165 (28%)
- Abandoned: 21 (4%)
- Pending: 0 (0%)
- In progress: 0 (0%)

On the right side, there are two metrics displayed:
- Open rate: 72% (shown in a blue circular progress indicator)
- Completion rate: 95% (shown in a green circular progress indicator)

The dashboard has navigation options for Candidates, Questions, Settings, and Insights, with a Refresh button in the top-right corner. It's currently showing items 1-5 of 6 in the pagination.

  • Candidate rating
    • Average rating (out of 5 stars) provided by candidates after completing the test.
    • The rating is optional.
  • Score distribution
    • Distribution of candidate score across different ranges.
    • The score taken into account is the point score, not the comparative score.
  • Average duration
    • Average time candidates spend completing the test.
    • Excludes candidates who have not finished their tests.
  • Test usage over time:
    • Number of invitations sent over the past 12 months.
This image shows additional metrics for the Autonomous Driving internship candidates in CoderPad:

At the top:
- Average rating: 4.2/5 (displayed in a green circular gauge)
- 198 candidates out of 433 rated the test
- Average score: 43%
- Average time spent on the test: 1 hour 19 minutes

The middle section displays a score distribution histogram showing how many candidates achieved scores in different percentage ranges:
- 0-10%: 51 candidates
- 10-20%: 32 candidates
- 20-30%: 54 candidates
- 30-40%: 56 candidates
- 40-50%: 57 candidates
- 50-60%: 61 candidates (highest bar)
- 60-70%: 49 candidates
- 70-80%: 39 candidates
- 80-90%: 24 candidates
- 90-100%: 10 candidates

The bottom section shows "Invitations over the past 12 months" in a bar graph:
- April: 14 invitations
- May: 8 invitations
- June: 5 invitations
- All other months (Feb, Mar, Jul-Jan): 0 invitations

This suggests the recruitment drive was concentrated in April-June of the previous year.
