Release notes: October 7, 2024

Here is a list of the latest features released in the month of October 2024.

Browser dev tools inside the full-stack IDE

HackerEarth has now introduced integrated browser developer tools within the fullstack IDE. This feature appears as an extension in the IDE preview pane and offers important tools for front end and fullstack developers.

Key features:

  • Element Inspector
  • Console
  • Network Inspector
  • Application Tab

This new feature will make it easier for candidates on our platform to work efficiently. It provides them with similar development tools they would expect while working on front end or fullstack projects in their own local development environment.

Introducing two new options for full-stack questions

HackerEarth is live with two new no-framework options for custom fullstack questions, which are as follows:

  1. Vanilla (HTML/CSS/JS) - This is useful for cases where you need to assess candidates purely for their JavaScript skills, and there is no need for a front end framework. 
  2. Python - This new option allows you to assess candidates purely based on their Python skills, where there is no requirement for programming questions, such as questions involving multiple files and API calls. 

These new updates are focused on improving the assessment user experience. You no longer need to use an inbuilt framework and then modify the setup to fit the use case of your problem.

Code quality support

HackerEarth provides quality scores for fullstack questions, which means candidate fullstack code is assessed on various key metrics. Previously, the code quality score was only provided for the React framework. We have extended this feature to the following frameworks:  

  1. Spring Framework
  2. .NET
