Tips

Some of the tips helpful for the contest are:

• Submitting what is obviously the same issue multiple times with small variations will only annoy the reviewer that has to sort through all the issues and will only count as one issue anyway. If it's less obvious if it is the same issue or not, use your best judgment and the reviewers will do the same.
• Put an eye on the issues being submitted by other members to minimize the time you may be spending on duplicate efforts. Knowing what has already been reported will allow you to better focus your time on finding yet undiscovered issues.
• Double check your steps to reproduce and test cases to make sure they are clear. Make sure your steps include creation of any necessary data.

Submission Deliverables

You need report your issues in JIRA. Please submit a text file contains the bugs you reported to OR.

Final Submission

• For each member, the final submission should be uploaded to the Online Review Tool.
