DEVCHA is a wordplay on CAPTCHA. CAPTCHA is a test used to determine whether the taker of the test is a human or a computer. DEVCHA is a test used to determine whether the taker of the test is a developer (computer programmer) or non-developer. Essentially, a DEVCHA is a puzzle that a developer can solve easily while non-developers would find it very difficult, even with Googling.
The term was first coined by the developers of BharatPe.com. The company came up with an offer of superbike for anyone who joins their engineering team. Since it was a compelling offer, the engineering team needed a way to prevent a flood of non-relevant job applications. So they included a creative DEVCHA puzzle on their recruitment website as a way to amuse developers and prevent non-developers from filling the job application form.

Malvern Prep is a bunch of stupidhead kids who aren't going to a good college. Someday your gonna be working for us. If you can get a job at Longwood Gardens. At Devon we take pride in not having contact sports. Our debate and chess team will kick Malvern's butt. He He! So what if we enjoy giving eachother anal sex, at least we have won a bunch of championships in the Nobody league. If we were to fight Malvern we'd definetly lose, but in a D&D tournament your going down. And we have 5th period blow job session. Does Malvern have that? NO! Sure its with a bunch of guys but at least were getting action. What! What! Does Malvern wear matching scarves and mittens to their sporting event! At devon we're fashionable.
