About this test
This test is built around the Workflow Automation Developer role. It covers the building blocks of tools such as n8n, Make and Zapier: webhooks, APIs, JSON, authentication, rate limits, loops and error handling, and the habits that keep automations from breaking quietly.
It is practice only and is not part of any job application.
What it covers
The question set has 24 questions: 16 easy, 7 medium and 1 hard. Each attempt draws 20 of them at random, so a second try is not the same test.
- APIs and data (6)
- Git and the web (3)
- JavaScript (3)
- Reliable automations (12)
Try a few sample questions
These are real questions from the set, with the answers and a short explanation. Read the question, decide, then open it to check.
Sample 1 · JavaScript · easyWhat does typeof null return in JavaScript?Show the answer
- "null"
- "object"Correct
- "undefined"
- "number"
This is a long-standing quirk of the language. typeof null is "object", so check for null with value === null instead.
Sample 2 · Git and the web · easyWhat does git init do?Show the answer
- Downloads a repository
- Creates a new Git repository in the current folderCorrect
- Sends changes to a server
- Deletes history
git init starts tracking a folder with Git by creating a hidden .git directory.
Sample 3 · APIs and data · easyWhat is the difference between a webhook and polling?Show the answer
- None
- A webhook is pushed to you when an event happens, polling asks repeatedly whether something changedCorrect
- Polling is pushed to you
- Webhooks need no URL
Webhooks are faster and use fewer requests. Polling is used when a service offers no webhook.
How it works
