1

APIGEE/API/Microservices

APIGEE is a platform for designing, securing, and managing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). In server-side technologies, APIs and microservices can be used to build and deploy web applications, mobile apps, and other types of software that need to interact with a server in order to function. They can help developers build applications that are more scalable, flexible, and resilient, and can be easier to maintain and update over time.

2

API

In server-side technologies, APIs are often used to allow client-side applications (such as web browsers or mobile apps) to interact with a server or backend system. For example, a client application might make a request to an API to retrieve data from a database, or to perform a specific task such as creating a new user account. The API would then handle the request and provide the appropriate response to the client application.

3

.NET

In server-side technologies, .NET is often used to build and deploy web applications. The .NET framework provides a set of tools and libraries that make it easier for developers to build and deploy web applications, including support for building web APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which allow applications to communicate with each other over the web.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
