Challenge Overview
This contest is part of a continuing effort to ensure the MyMedia / PCDVR app works as expected.
This bug hunt is focused on all functionality of the app, but especially the new UI updates and resumable uploads in the app.
Contest Scope
The goal of this competition is to clearly identify the limitations of the provided application and ensure the functionality of the app works as expected, including photos and videos.
Things to test:
- The functionality works on Android devices (phone and tablet).
- The download functionality works for offline playback
- The new photo uploading, editing, and viewing works appropriately.
Existing tickets:
The existing tickets that are open in the HPBU JIRA project for the Android app will be considered as part of the review. Please don't duplicate anything from those existing tickets.
Note that for every bug you assign to a specific OS, you MUST provide a screenshot for that platform. This is a requirement to ensure proper test coverage on each platform. For instance, if you assign a bug to Windows and OS X, but you don't provide a screenshot for OS X, the bug will be rejected.
Main Requirements
These are the main pieces of functionality in the app. The entire app is in scope, but please make sure to test these:
General Functionality
- The functionality works on both phones and tablets.
Specific Functionality
- Uploading and viewing a video
- Resumable uploads
- Adding albums
- Renaming videos and editing name after uploading
- Setting video thumbnail
- Moving videos between albums
- Removing videos
- Ensuring syncing works between devices under the same account
- Deleting albums and individual videos
- New videos taken are shown when the app is started and the user is prompted to upload them
- Downloading a video works and the video is available to playback offline and shows up in the "Favorites" option in the footer.
Users
User details will be provided in the forum.
Format
For each report of a limitation or bug, we need the following information:
1) Steps to reproduce, including any needed information
2) Screenshots (if applicable)
3) Expected results after the bug is fixed
4) Current results, before the bug is fixed
5) OS version (4.1, 4.2.2, etc...)
6) Device type and description (Galaxy S III, Nexus 7, etc...)
Only actual bugs will be counted. Tickets logged for enhancements or issues that aren't bugs won't be counted.
When in doubt, always provide a screenshot. Screenshots are very helpful due to the graphical nature of the application and help clarify bugs. If you don't provide a screenshot, there's a good chance your bug will be rejected.
 |
If you log a crash and don't provide a crash log, the bug will be rejected |
|
If you do not properly document your bug reports, they will likely be rejected due to lack of information or documentation. Also, make sure your bug reports are reasonably general. If you submit the same bug that is seen in multiple screens, for instance, you will likely only get credit for the original bug report. The others will all be closed as duplicates. |
You will log your tickets here: https://apps.topcoder.com/bugs/browse/HPBU

For scoring, the submitter with the most points will win. For submitters who submit but don't take first, if they submit bugs that aren't covered in the first place submission, they will receive $5 for each unique bug reported up to a maximum of the 1st place prize
If two submitters submit the same bug report, the submitter who submitted the report first into JIRA will get credit for the bug. The second submitter will not. |
