October 29, 2020 The QA Finals at TCO20 are Looking Fierce
The south asian dominated QA Finals will be interesting to watch as the experienced greats like codejam, Sharathkumar92 and Satkan will be challenged by the new QA sensations Payal2514, mancoolgunda, varun22303270, and akultalwar89. Our new QA finalists have been doing amazingly well in our QA challenges lately and TCO finals will be nothing different.
QA Finalists:
Want to understand how the QA Finals work? Here is how it is structured.
There are three phases in the whole competition, while phase one and two are focused on completing manual test cases and doing bug hunts, the third phase brings an interesting element to the competition.
The third phase, also known as the challenge phase, is where members would be able to challenge the bugs logged by other members. Every bug can be validated by another competitor. For every bug they find that is not valid, you can take away points from the competitor. Challenge phase was the most interesting phase last year as it allowed members to gain a good amount of points and hold strong positions
Here’s how the leaderboard would look like during different phases:
