How to set time limits for Alva’s coding tests
When you add a coding test to a job position in Alva, you can apply a time limit for how long candidates are allowed to work on their assigned coding test.
How does the time limit work?
A time limit can be set for any coding test, with a minimum limit of 30 minutes. The time limit sets an upper limit for how long a candidate is allowed to work on a coding test.
Once the time runs out, any code that the candidate has uploaded to their repository will be submitted to the hiring team for review. This does not remove a candidate's access to the coding test repository! Rather, they are allowed to continue working and can make a late submission if they so want.
If a candidate submits their assignment outside of the time limit, it will be marked as late. Their coding test score will be reported as a Coding test core beyond the time limit. In the candidate details, you can also see how late the submission was made.
