My first test: LuizaLabs
Há um tempo, no início da minha trajetória como desenvolvedor, fiz o teste técnico da LuizaLabs — foi meu primeiro contato real com um processo seletivo na área. O desafio era ler um arquivo de log de partidas do Quake 3 Arena , extrair estatísticas de cada partida (jogadores, kills, mortes causadas pelo próprio jogo) e expor isso por uma API — com testes automatizados e, se possível, algo além…
A developer wrote about their experience with a technical test from LuizaLabs, a challenge that involved parsing a Quake 3 Arena game log file, extracting statistics, and exposing the results through an API. The test required separating game events, tracking kills and players, and handling cases where the game environment, or "world", causes a player's death.
The developer structured the project into three layers: a parser, an API using Flask, and persistence using PyMongo and MongoDB Atlas. They learned the importance of separating concerns and handling business rules, such as the "world" kill rule, in a single place to simplify testing and avoid errors.
