Basics to brush up

The listing is short. So the best way to prepare for the NIIT associate software engineer role is to cover what it does name, and cover it well.

One language, properly

Pick one of Java, Python, C++ or JavaScript and know it well. Be able to write loops, functions, classes and basic error handling without looking anything up. Practise small array, string and hash map problems in that language.

Clean, documented code

The listing asks for well-documented code. Take one college project and clean it up. Use clear names and add short comments where the logic is not obvious. Add a README that explains how to run it.

Code reviews

Code reviews are part of this job. Learn how a pull request works on GitHub. Practise reading someone else's short program and pointing out one bug and one improvement.

Debugging

Learn to use the debugger in your editor. Know how to set a breakpoint, step through code and read a stack trace. Be ready to describe one bug you found and how you fixed it.

Testing

The listing asks you to test software for speed and efficiency. Write a few unit tests for your project with JUnit for Java, pytest for Python, or Jest for JavaScript. Know the difference between a unit test and a manual check.

Working with QA and product managers

The listing puts QA testers and product managers in your daily circle. Learn to read a bug report. A good one has the steps to reproduce, the expected result and the actual result. Also learn to read a simple user story and break it into small tasks. When you fix a bug, write a short note that a tester can use to check your fix.

A starter checklist for each language

Pick the row that matches your chosen language and practise it until it feels easy.

• In Java, practise classes and objects, ArrayList and HashMap, and exception handling.
• In Python, practise lists, dictionaries, functions, classes and reading files.
• In C++, practise pointers and references, plus vectors and maps from the STL.
• In JavaScript, practise functions, arrays and objects, and promises with async and await.

A NIIT associate software engineer is also expected to share ideas in team meetings. Practise explaining one of your projects in two minutes. Say what it does, why you built it that way, and what you would change.
