Challenge Summary
Welcome to TC Direct Contest Detail Page Wireframe contest.
TopCoder has a competition type known as Bug Races. They are used to tap into the community's talent for smaller tasks that don't quite fit into a larger scoped contest. They cover more than "bugs", and are often used for incremental improvements, UI updates, documentation updates, etc. We currently run the Bug Races using Jira. There is some integration currently that allows users to create/view Bug Races from Cockpit, but there is not a clean integration between our Bug Race process/technology and our core platform technology (Online Review, Cockpit, etc.).
We would like to convert the Bug Races process so it runs as a competition type within Online Review, which is then exposed to the community sites and Cockpit as a standard contest type. We want to gain the advantages that Online Review gives us such as registration management, terms management, resource management, payment management, review processes, associations to cockpit projects and billing accounts, etc. Also, from the customer/Cockpit perspective it will make it easier to include Bug Races in game plans, schedule them for future dates, create dependencies to other contest types, select winners, etc.
In this contest, we need your help to create a wireframe for creating Contest Details in Cockpit. Requirement detail is provided in Conceptualization Document. At the end of this contest we are looking for a process flow and layout design of the functionality mentioned in document.
Round 1
You must submit your all mentioned requirements.
Round 2
You must submit your all mentioned requirements and fix your solution based on miletone feedback.
Primary Goals
TopCoder is going to convert Bug Race competiton into standard competition. The goal of this contest is to create a solution for Contest Details Page in TC Direct (Cockpit).
General Requirements
- The contest details page must be intuitive and user friendly and should look as close as possible to contest details page for Studio and Software contest type in Cockpit. Example screenshot is provided.
- Your solution should work for both Bug Race for Studio and Software contest type.
- You must use wireframe note pane in every single page you design, to explain what all items are addressed in that page, use it to make your idea clearer and help us to give you constructive feedback.
- We suggest you to follow high level requirements details with use case diagram, it is provided in Conceptualization Document.
Wireframe Requirements
Refer to Conceptualization Document, following are requirements you need to implement in your solution:
- Link Bug Race to a contest/project (Refer to section 4.4.2.3)
