Process

The first step was a phone interview, which was an hour long. After that, they sent me a coding exercise, which I developed in 5 hours. I thought doing it in a short time would be a plus point, which was my biggest mistake.

The app was to create a weather application using Swift and MVC. I used different Swift features to show my language capabilities and some tests as well. I wrote tests of different types, like testing a simple method, testing an async method, and testing with stubs (to save some time).

They liked the following things:

  • Good separation of concerns
  • Well-documented code
  • Look and feel of the app
  • Some passing tests implemented
  • Swift 2.0 error handling

They said the following things could be improved:

  1. Test coverage
  2. More use of compiler features
  3. View controller methods are long and should be broken down.

Questions

Technical questions about iOS, Swift, Core Data, JSON Parsing, testing, etc.
