EXL™ Hackathon

Cloud-agnostic solution to store and retrieve files

Submission format:

1. You can use any preferred programming language or technology to write the API. However, we prefer C# or Java as the choice of programming language.
2. The candidate should submit the working code and screenshot of API responses also
3. The candidate should submit a complete document also that should explain the solution and steps to execute the code as well like payload & URL etc
4. Candidate must submit the API execution proofs like POSTMAN collection or SOAPUI project etc. Well prepared payload to execute the API with any tool will be much appreciated.

Developer Guide:

1. Write a RESTful API that can be consumed by any application. This API should have appropriate operations to upload and download the files from cloud storage.
2. API should support the programmatic access to desired cloud services.
3. API should follow standard security guidelines while connecting to cloud services
4. For uploading the files, API should allow only authorized users
5. Authorized users can obviously always download the files.
6. The application can allow some guest users who need only temporary access to some stored files.
   API should be capable to provide temporary access for a limited time interval also to access a particular file. For example a guest user is providing a dedicated file name. The API should return a temporary URL from which the user can access the required file for a limited time interval.
   

Evaluation Criteria:

1. Concept and solution design has major weightage in evaluation criteria
2. Candidate must complete all 3 mentioned uses cases i.e. upload, download and download with temporary access
3. At least 2 cloud providers must be utilized in the solution. Preferably AWS and Azure should be used in the provided solution
4. In the provided solution, appropriate handling of sensitive keys and information is expected. So any submission having proper handling of sensitive information will get more weightage
5. Any submitted code having compile-time error will not be accepted
   

A smart BOT

Submission format:

• Code and recordings for the solution flow for the scenarios covered 

Developer Guide:

– Steps/Instructions for a developer to work on the problem that can help them
There are no specific guidelines for Bot development. Below are use cases that should be covered in this

• The bot should be able to read metadata on the HTML page and can tell the user what needs to be done on the current page since it would be a question/answer or survey sort of a page
• The bot should be able to provide links to documents as reference guidelines for the user in case more clarity is required
• An automated way of making the bot intelligent and not manual

Evaluation Criteria:

• How correct Bot is able to read metadata on the page and able to provide suggestions

Create a solution for Appointment Scheduling and Routing

Submission format:

• System Design document
• Pseudocode for Algorithm written to try various permutations and combinations and get the shortest possible route
  

Developer Guide:

Prerequisites

• Use Visual Studio 2017 or above
• Develop using .Net Core 3 or above SDK
• Access to Google Map APIs will be required
• Access to Git to upload code and documents

API

• Build a Restful API in .Net Core to provide Cross-Platform support
• API must accept the input JSON in the form body and traverse through the list of addresses
• In case it is required to use a database to store output result set, you may go with any SQL or No SQL databases
• Program should have an error logging mechanism to capture the invalid locations or any kind of failure
• Add proper comments to the code and follow standard naming conventions for the variables declared

Front End

• Build a basic reusable component to display the result using Angular versions 4 or above
  

Evaluation Criteria:

Evaluation Criteria - System should work on different list that will be used for evaluation

Scoring Weightage

1. API to provide output based on input JSON - 70%
2. Google map integration to show addresses along with route and drive time - 20%
3. UI to show output in angular component- 10%
