This test covers essential skills needed for beginner-level Node.js development. It begins with evaluating candidates’ understanding of Node.js features, such as its asynchronous event-driven architecture and non-blocking I/O model, which are crucial for building high-performance applications. The test also assesses knowledge of software engineering principles with Node.js, including writing server-side scripts and managing application state.

In web development contexts, the test evaluates candidates’ ability to implement RESTful services, handle real-time communication using WebSockets, and manage data streams efficiently. These skills are vital for developing dynamic and interactive web applications. Additionally, the test covers security best practices, ensuring candidates are aware of common vulnerabilities and how to mitigate them to protect applications from potential threats.

Finally, the test ensures that candidates have a solid understanding of Node.js components and tools, such as npm for package management and Express for building web applications. This comprehensive evaluation prepares candidates for more advanced topics in Node.js development and equips them with the skills needed to build robust and secure server-side applications.
