Challenge Overview
Project Overview
Our client want to develop a Hybrid mobile application built in HTML5/JS/CSS, which will be deployed to iOS and Android - Phone & Tablet sized.
This mobile application will aggregate RSS data from external sources, social media content, and internal content served via REST API, similar as Flipboard.
For internal content, we'd like to seek an existing content management sytem that fits our client's requirement to reduce the development effort.
Contest Objective

- Make sure the social logic is working.
Devices Requirements
The given application must be tested in any Android devices

Bug Report Process
Bug Report Format
For each report of a limitation or bug, we need the following information:
- Steps to reproduce, including any needed information
- Screen shots (if applicable)
- Expected results after the bug is fixed
- Current results, before the bug is fixed
- Device Info and android version, if you are using emulator, please specify clearly.
- Please set the label properly, use android and other proper labels.
Important Notice:
- 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.
Ticket Logging
You will log your tickets here: Github Issues.
Scoring
The Scoring guidelines followed for the contest are given below:
- For scoring, the submitter with the most accepted bugs will win.
- For submitters who submit but don't take first placement, 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.
Important Notice:
If two submitters submit the same bug report, the submitter who submitted the report first into Github Issues will get credit for the bug. The second submitter will not.
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.
