I strongly believe in "as simple as possible, but no simpler"...
To coin a phrase... give a newbie some code, they'll be able to code for the exercise, give them some direction, they'll be able to code for life...

Functional document from code You are stuck between a rock and a hard place. You could try something like a UML modelling tool and see if it can reverse engineer the models from the java code (AFAIK, NetBeans for example used to have a tool capable of this pre version 7.) That could be a starting point, else, it's navigating the code manually and documenting as you go - eitherways, a shit job to do! |

Do your managers prefer to create proof of concept (POC) before working prototype? should also add that there should be a clear understanding of the scope of the POC - i.e. there is a clear line between it and a fully fledged implementation... |

Are time restrictions on technical tests a good thing? @kevincline, I totally agree, I just wanted to canvass some opinions to see what the general thinking is. The 2 hour time limit is more than generous for anyone of any experience to come up with some sort of design. If they cannot, that in itself is a no-no for me (implies they cannot really think on their feet/adapt/react quickly...) |

Are time restrictions on technical tests a good thing? I like "analysis paralysis"... :) |

Are time restrictions on technical tests a good thing? That's the counter argument to the time limit, by placing this artificial limit, are we also rejecting good but slow candidates.. I guess there is no real win... |

Are time restrictions on technical tests a good thing? @blunders, as I mentioned in a comment below, we state that in the spec, "we don't expect a fully working solution", just your thoughts... |

Are time restrictions on technical tests a good thing? Funnily enough, all of the folks here have passed that test (aside from one or two founders!) ;) |

Are time restrictions on technical tests a good thing? We do communicate exactly that (i.e. we don't expect a fully working solution, pseudocode with some descriptions is sufficient), we just want to see their thinking, hence why I am in favour of the time limit. |

Advantages of a left to right language syntax I rarely downvote (and in this case it's pointless), but this deserves a -1. The majority of this answer has nothing to do with the question! |
