At the very least, a candidate should walk away from the interview feeling that they were actually being evaluated for what they would have to do on the job. If they had difficulty it would be obvious to them on what areas they need to improve on and realize why they weren't offered a job. As for the hiring manager, you want to feel confident that the person you hire can do the real job and if they have successfully demonstrated performing small work tasks you will know for sure.

All very well said.

It's obvious that you "get it" while others have difficulty understanding that traditional testing is not a way to measure programming skills.

Cheers,
