How to proceed with the system design format

This is a question format in which various components are used to design a system that meets your requirements.

Understanding the test contents

  • When the test is started, you will be taken to the test screen, which includes a drawing tool. First, you will understand the requirements, scope, and constraints of the problem by looking at the left-most column.
    • Hints can be found at the bottom of the question description column. Scroll to the bottom of the "Question Description" column to see the hints. However, the interviewer can check whether the hints are used or not, so you should try to solve the questions by yourself as much as possible!

Conducting the Test

  • Next, select the resource type for the question. The currently supported resource types are Default, AWS, GCP, and Azure. You can select from the pull-down menu at the top of the Components section in the center column of the screen.
  • Create a flowchart by placing objects in the drawing area on the right side of the screen to build a system that meets the requirements of the assignment. You can also add text descriptions within the drawing area. Please refer to the following link for information on the operation of the drawing tool used to create the flowchart.
  • Clicking the "▶ Execute" button in the upper right corner of the screen opens a dialog box where you can execute the test case. Clicking the "▶ Execute" button will execute the test case and display the results.

Adding a description

  • You can optionally add explanatory text to the flowchart to be submitted using the "Explanatory Text" field in the lower left corner of the screen.

Submitting Tests

  • Once you have completed a flowchart that meets the requirements of the assignment and, if necessary, the explanatory text, press the "Submit" button in the upper right corner of the screen. A success message will temporarily appear at the bottom of the screen when the submission is complete.
  • You may submit as many times as you wish until the time limit expires.
  • If multiple questions are submitted, the system will automatically move to the next question.
