| Oct 15, 2012 at 15:47 | comment | added | MrFox | IMHO whiteboard testing is strictly inferior to sitting someone down with a laptop and the exact conditions/framework that they will be working with and asking them to solve a real problem. For example, if it's a book company ask them to code an ISBN number-related task rather than FizzBuzz. | |

Changed "credible" to "useful" on point 5. Added a line to focus the question on written exams.
