Challenge Overview
Competition Task Overview
In previous challenges we've build the SRT phase 4 code and added Estimates related tabs. We've also implemented data syncing between the cloud app and the local app which provided us a fully working app with offline capability.
While that's done and being used, we're ready to move to the next phase: re-build this app as an HTML5 app so that we no longer need to maintain a cloud app and a client app. We'd like to use the offline support of HTML5 and make it transparent to the users.
Requirements
We found qutie a few bugs in the HTML5 app by running bug hunts, the purpose of this challenge is to fix the bugs we found:
- All bugs mentioned in the forum should be fixed in this assembly
- If bugs are found during review (i.e. some functions work in the jsp app but not in the HTML5 app), they will need to be fixed as part of final fixes. These are in scope.
- Make sure all the paths and tabs work exactly the same in the HTML5 app and the original jsp app
- Make sure offline feature still works correctly for updated code
- Make sure the app works with both Oracle and Postgres databases
- Bug fixes must be tested in both Windows and Mac OS X!
Documents Provided
- Code: we have provided all necessary code in challenge forum.
- Document: the process document is provided for you to understand the different paths.
HTML5
As we've stated already, HTML5 is the focus of this challenge. The frontend should be static pages using Angular.js, JSP is no longer allowed.
Code Base
Please fork our gitlab repo and use the specified branch as base for this challenge. The winner will also be asked to help with code merge (perhaps via a merge request).
Timeline
This challenge has an aggressive timeline, make sure you pay attention to the deadlines!
Browser Compatibility
This must work on latest version of Chrome / Firefox / Safari on Mac / Windows / Linux.
Winner Responsibility
We may ask the winner to deploy the final submission on a VM and help with code merge.

Final Submission Guidelines
Submission Deliverables
A complete list of deliverables can be viewed in the TopCoder Assembly competition Tutorial at: http://apps.topcoder.com/wiki/display/tc/Assembly+Competition+Tutorials
Below is an overview of the deliverables:
- Code that covers the requirements
- A (NEW) complete and detailed deployment documented explaining how to deploy the application including configuration information. If deployment guide needs no change then a separate verification guide.
- You can remove the other irrelevant deployment guides from your submission.
- The maven build script to create the war files. Very likely you can reuse the existing one and don't need to modify anything.
Final Submission
For each member, the final submission should be uploaded to the Online Review Tool.
