Challenge Overview

The Hercules University application is a set of apps for iOS, Android, and the web, allowing users to watch live TV and On Demand videos on Universities.

This bug hunt will only test the iOS version of the application. 

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.  There are not currently test scenarios for the app

Things to test:

  • The functionality works correctly on iPhone and iPad.  This includes the new iPhone 6 and 6+
  • The display is correct
  • Navigation works
  • Scrolling works
  • Closed captioning (CC button on playback)
  • The different screens provide sane results and all tabs work
  • No errors are seen
  • Updated back button navigation works properly
  • iOS 8 compatibility

 

Please ensure performance is good for all devices

Do NOT log issues for these:

  • Missing periods or tooltips, or basic grammar issues are not in scope
  • You won't be able to see the results of remote control usage, and cdvrfox3 can't use the remote control functionality

Platform

This bug hunt will only test the iOS based version of the app, for both iPad and iPhone, iOS 8+

Screenshots

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.

Users

Login with the user accounts found 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 (8.0, 8.1 etc...)
6) Device type and version (iPad 3, iPhone 4S, iPhone 6+, 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 "University iOS Client" component for each logged issue or it may not get counted during review.

 

For scoring, the submitter with the most pints 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.
