TaoScope Coding Assessment

Welcome to TaoScope Coding Assessment — a VS Code extension that helps candidates complete technical and coding assessments for TaoScope hiring, right inside their editor.

Whether you are preparing for a knowledge interview or a hands-on coding challenge, this extension guides you through the process step by step.

Website: taoscope.com

What you can do

From the TaoScope sidebar in VS Code, you can:

• Open the Tool Hub — a home view for all TaoScope developer tools
• Take a Technical Assessment — timed questions that evaluate your core knowledge
• Take a Coding Assessment — a real workspace-based coding task with a timer and submission flow

Why this extension

• Guided sessions: start from the TaoScope Tool Hub and complete each assessment inside the extension UI.
• Two assessment types: Technical Assessment (timed knowledge) and Coding Assessment (workspace-based task + submission).
• Ticket-based access: enter your assessment ticket ID to load your role-specific session.
• Integrity-aware recording: Technical Assessment records answers, timing, and focus-away events; Coding Assessment records workspace activity after you accept the in-extension privacy notice. Screen capture is off by default.

Getting started

1. Apply and receive your ticket

Apply for a role on taoscope.com/careers. After your application is reviewed, you will receive an assessment ticket ID by email (or on the careers site).

Keep that ticket ID ready — you will need it to start your assessment.

2. Install the extension

1. Open VS Code (or a compatible editor such as Cursor).
2. Go to the Extensions view.
3. Search for TaoScope Coding Assessment.
4. Click Install.

You can also install it by ID: taoscope.taoscope-coding-assessment

3. Open TaoScope

Click the TaoScope icon in the activity bar (left side of the editor).

If no tool is open yet, the Tool Hub opens automatically. From there — or from the sidebar — choose the assessment that matches your invitation.

4. Start your assessment

1. Select Technical Assessment or Coding Assessment.
2. Enter your ticket ID.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully before you begin.
4. Complete the session within the allotted time.
5. Submit when you are finished.

Please stay focused during the assessment. Leaving the assessment view or using unauthorized help may affect your result.

Assessment types

Technical Assessment

A guided session with 20 knowledge questions (easy, medium, and hard) for the role you applied for. The pass threshold is 80%.

Coding Assessment

A timed, workspace-based challenge. You implement real work in VS Code, run tests as instructed, and submit your results when ready.

Both flows use the same ticket from your application, so your assessment is matched to the role you applied for.

Tips for a smooth session

• Use a trusted workspace and open the project folder you were asked to work in.
• Read the rules and guidelines on the start screen before you begin.
• Keep the assessment panel open for the full session.
• Watch the timer and save your work as you go.
• Submit only when you have finished the required tasks.
