Challenge Overview
The Hercules Player is an application that allows customers to upload photos and videos to the customer's cloud for viewing on the web, their TV, and mobile devices
This bug hunt is focused on all functionality of the app as it is now.
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:
- Uploads
- Favorites for photos
- Slideshows
- Trash and deleting / restoring
- Collection management
- Sharing, viewing, updating
Test scenarios
We don't currently have test scenarios for the web app, so please use your best judgement. If you have questions about how something is supposed to work, DON'T just log a bug! Please use the forum to clarify things. DON'T expect the app to work like the mobile versions. There are noticable differences and I don't want to have to close a bunch of bugs that are logged that don't apply.
Browsers
Please test in IE 9+, and the latest versions of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
Existing tickets
There are already bugs registered in HPBU from a previous bug hunt. Those tickets will be considered when reviewing, so please don't register something that's already in that list of existing issues.
Screenshots
Note that for every bug you create, you MUST provide a screenshot for that browser / platform. This is a requirement to ensure proper test coverage on each platform.
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 (7.0, 7.1, 8 etc...)
6) Device type and description (iPad Air, iPad 2, iPhone 4S, 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
You must select the "MyMedia Website" component for each logged issue or it may not get counted during review.

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. |
