TestHike is a desktop coding assessment platform for technical hiring, programming exams, and engineering skill evaluation. Candidates work in a native desktop app with real programming environments; the platform supports 20 configured language environments, including Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, Rust, and Swift. Teams can combine ready-made or custom coding questions with multiple-choice and written questions. Coding responses are scored by the share of test cases passed, while reviewers score written answers. Configurable activity information can include focus changes, clipboard activity, connected displays, and running processes. Assessments continue through connection drops, with progress saved locally roughly every 10 seconds and synced when connectivity returns. Assessment data is encrypted in local storage and in transit; submissions are checksummed and tied to a device fingerprint. TestHike says it does not record continuous webcam or screen video by default or monitor outside assessment sessions. API access can connect assessments, invites, and results to other systems. Pricing is by custom quote, based on assessment volume, reviewer seats, and features; a free trial assessment is arranged through a demo request.
