Traditional MCQ/Leetcode tasks are easily handled by AI; single-file, single-answer challenges are widely compromised. Integrity has to be designed into both content and controls. ## Solve your Top Challenges in Fraud & Cheating Detection Cheating & Integrity Challenges | CoderPad Solutions Cheating & Integrity Challenges AI tools trivialize MCQ/Leetcode; content leaks | CoderPad Solutions Multi-file, job-relevant projects that require human reasoning and explanation. Cheating & Integrity Challenges “Silent paste” / help from others is hard to spot | CoderPad Solutions Code similarity checks, code playback, IP tracking, and IDE exit tracking highlight anomalous behavior. Cheating & Integrity Challenges Large university or early-talent drives make manual review impossible | CoderPad Solutions Robust cheat mitigation & detection across hundreds of candidates with scalable workflows. Cheating & Integrity Challenges Heavy proctoring hurts candidate experience | CoderPad Solutions “Surveillance vs. Reality” approach—evaluate real skills (including AI collaboration) while applying appropriate monitoring. Cheating & Integrity Challenges Need evidence, not suspicion | CoderPad Solutions Optional webcam proctoring with AI image analysis, plus audit trails via playback and pad summaries. The Platform ## Core Features for Fraud & Cheating Detection - [Integrity by Design (Projects) Open-ended, multi-file projects that are cheat-resistant by design and assess how candidates use AI safely and effectively.](#integrity-by-design-projects-tab) - [Multi-Layered Detection Code similarity detection, playback to spot abnormal copy/paste, IP tracking, and IDE exit tracking for MCQ and coding tasks.](#multi-layered-detection-tab) - [Proctoring Options Automated webcam screenshots analyzed by AI to flag suspicious behavior when required.](#proctoring-options-tab) - [Activity Insights & Auditability Real-time suspicious-activity alerts (navigate away, external paste), searchable playback, and pad summaries for fast review.](#activity-insights-auditability-tab) - [Secure Test Mechanics Anti-copy statements, per-question timers, and test randomization reduce answer-sharing and lookup value.](#secure-test-mechanics-tab) ![Face absent (1 instance), Multiple faces (1 instance), Different face (2 instanes)](https://coderpad.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/coderpad-web-cam-proctoring-face-detection-feature.png)![Andrew Johnson is flagged for plagiarism and leaving the test](https://coderpad.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/coderpad-highlights-suspicious-activity-for-test-takers.png) +96% of tests started are completed 4,000+ customers across 165 countries Unified screen to interview workflow ## FAQs ### Do you ban AI tools? No. We evaluate how candidates use AI (prompting, tool choice, verification) within realistic projects—skills that matter on the job. ### What detection signals are available? Code similarity, code playback, IP tracking, IDE exit tracking, and optional webcam proctoring with AI image analysis. ### Can this scale for university recruiting? Yes, robust cheat mitigation & detection and workflows scale to hundreds or thousands of candidates. ### Will monitoring harm candidate experience? Our “Surveillance vs. Reality” approach balances integrity with realism; Meta’s candidate satisfaction remains high using these practices. ## Protect Integrity Without Sacrificing Experience [Request a demo](https://coderpad.io/sales/)
