Challenge Overview
Project Overview
This project, the CSFV Community Gaming website project will provide the web site infrastructure and integration of the games. This will be a web site that is available on the Internet, and also will be delivered in a form where the server and the games can be installed and used behind a firewall.
We hope you enjoy this contest and good luck!
Challenge Requirement
This challenge will update the CSFV Gaming Website User Test Scenario, it will include some additional test scenarios to ensure we have addressed everything recently updated in the verigames.com website. Note the following :
- The Requirement Specification document may not cover all functionality we have in the website, so you need to use the live staging server you can playaround and fully understand how everything works.
- The test scenarios are targeting bug hunters, the purpose is to force bug hunters to follow a well documented scenarios when testing the website GUI, functionality, performance .. etc so you need to replace the REQ column with a more clear guide to bug hunters as they should not refer to ARS to understand what the functionality the test scenario is referring to. It is preferred to place the functionality list at the top of the sheet, and use the numbering in REQ column, and also add NEW column with the URL of the target page to be tested in the scenario. (We provided some samples from past challenges in the challenge forums)
- Chat, forums, wiki are out of scope of this challenge.
(Note that additional functionality may be exposed during the requirements gathering process.)
