Challenge Overview
Competition Task Overview
SRT is a web application used for management of service requests, it consistst of a cloud app and a local app. The cloud app uses Oracle database in the backend and the local app uses an h2 database.
In this challenge we'd like to fix a bunch of issues.
Here are the requirements:
- Fix issues SRT1.0DEC2014-1 to SRT1.0DEC2014-16 and SRT1.0DEC2014-18 from T23T-ServiceRequestToolFront-EndAssembly-1.0BugsforDecember,EnhancementsforFebruary,1.1EnhancementsforApril-051214-1527-30.pdf
- SRT1.0DEC2014-16 is a bit hard to understand so you can interpret it as: all we have to do for this is when they try to submit, if it is invalid, tell them what is wrong and help them go to the field to correct it.
- Even though the right most column in the pdf says "Fixed", that's just an error and these issues all need to be fixed.
- Where the PDF mentions to use "NT ID" in the xml, you should use the user identifier used in first login.
- We posted quite a few xml examples in the forum for your reference. But to map the fields in XML, almost everything can be found from the XMLMaps sheet from the Excel applicaiton, we'll post details about this in the forum. The generated XMLs are incredibly important and we must make sure they are correct.
- Make sure data sync still works and includes all the new / changes fields
- Make sure no exising features are broken (sync of CRUD should still work)
- Make sure both local app and cloud app have all these issues fixed
Note we don't have any architecture documents for these and it might take time to figure out some details from the PDF and the Excel application, so please get started early and ask questions in the forum.
Testing
