Competition Task Overview
The purpose of this contest is to fix some issues found in the project.
This contest has shortened review & appeals phases, make sure you meet the timeline!
Issues to fix
- All issues listed in the excel file in contest forum should be fixed. Some of the issues don't have a lot details, so as questions early in the forum is critical to the sucess of this project!
- Currently the values from column are different from the ones in the assembly, we need to translate / map the values. See rules in contest forum.
- Registration currently works incorrectly, follow the bug fix text file to fix this (this one can be left to final fixes or even approval if it's hard, we need the other issues fixed so we have a version that can be demonstrated to customers as soon as possible).
New Deployment Guide
Please provide a separate deployment guide with details to verify all fixed issues. The current deployment guide should be kept (but should be updated if needed) and included in your submission.
Testing
Functional tests must still work after you fix the issues.
VM
The winner will be asked to deploy the final solution on a VM for client approval.
