If delivering valuable new features and product improvements were our Product and Engineering teams’ New Year’s resolution, they are crushing their goal already! Here are a few highlights that have gone live in the first month of the year:
- Configure Puppeteer test weights when creating scored frontend tasks
- Add a background to video calls in live interview sessions
Configure Puppeteer test weights when creating scored frontend tasks
Last summer, we announced a much-anticipated new feature: support for creating custom Puppeteer tests in our frontend task creation UI. Now, users can configure custom test weights for Puppeteer tests in a scored frontend task. The benefit: you can now create automatically-scored frontend tasks with even more control over the task's scoring.

Add a background to video calls in live interview sessions
Now, you can customize your video experience in CodeSignal live interviews just like you would in any of your favorite video calling applications: with virtual backgrounds. Both interviewers and candidates can easily select a “blur” background or upload an image of their choice for a more private video calling experience.
