With the advent of distributed computing, the need for frameworks that facilitate its programming and management has also appeared. These tools have typically been used to support the research on application areas that require them. This poses good initial conditions for translational computer science (TCS), although this does not always occur. This article describes our experience with the PyCOMPSs project, a programming model for distributed computing. While it is a research instrument for our team, it has also been applied in multiple real use cases under the umbrella of European Funded projects, or as part of internal projects between various departments at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. This article illustrates how the authors have engaged in TCS as an underlying research methodology, collecting experiences from three European projects. ; This work was supported in part by Spanish Government under Contract TIN2015-65316-P, in part by the Generalitat de Catalunya under Contract 2014-SGR-1051, and in part by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Framework program through BioExcel Center of Excellence under Contract 823830 and Contract 675728, in part by the ExaQUte Project under Contract 800898, in part by the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under Grant 955558, in part by the MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, and in part by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR. ; Peer Reviewed ; Postprint (author's final draft)

Aspiring Minds Computer Adaptive Test (AMCAT) is a computer adaptive test used widely in India to assess the employability skill level of engineering students. Prefinal and final year students belonging to different streams take up this online test. The present study investigates the perception of students regarding the conduct of AMCAT. Furthermore, the study explores the benefits that they obtain through the test. The comparison is made among the students belonging to the two different streams, engineering and computer science. The conclusion drawn facilitates the readers to understand the utility of AMCAT.
