Challenge Overview
1.1 System Description
The client for this project built a platform that supports the sale, exchange, and redemption of gift cards between businesses and individuals. The goal of this platform is to help small businesses expand, using both web and mobile layouts, by giving them a simple way to raise capital and acquire new customers using gift cards. The main function of the platform will be to allow business to post virtual gift cards for sale on the platform. Individual users will be able to browse and buy these gift cards, as well as resell or trade gift cards they own. Using the mobile layout, users will be able to redeem their gift cards at the business, and the business will be able to process gift card redemption at their point of sale.
A brief desription of the workflow is attached. The platform is already live https://foundershare.com but requires various enhancements to satisfy all user needs.
1.2 Competition Task Overview
There is an Intro Document attached to give you idea of what the website is. We don't have test cases or ARS so we rely on your best judgement here. If you have any questions, please raise it at the forum early.

Environments
PROD - https://foundershare.com (please do not pollute it with fake data; also requires a real credit card). It is behind the development, so it's missing the features you need to test. Given for reference, but any valid bugs reported are appreciated.
QA - https://qa.foundershare.com (54.210.40.145) - this one is for testing.
You can access database at QA using a remote client like Robomongo via port 27017. This way you can set Verified status for business account that you will create.
You can test all functionality at QA using sandbox credit cards (e.g. number 4111 1111 1111 1111, valud expiry date and any cvv, e.g. 123), see https://developers.braintreepayments.com/reference/general/testing/node for details
To access mobile version in desktop browser add "/mobile/#/", e.g. qa.foundershare.com/mobile/#/
Browser Requirements and Layouts
The app consists of desktop and mobile parts which perform slightly different functionality and some workflows may include using both of them. For mobile part please use iPhones and Android mobile devices (with Mobile Safari and Android Browser/Mobile Chrome correspondently). Phones use a different layout, but tablets use the desktop layout. The desktop version also supports tablets (iOS6+ and Android - recent 2 versions).
The target browsers (latest versions) are:
- Internet Explorer at Windows,
- Chrome at Windows and MacOS,
- Safari at MacOS,
- Firefox at Windows, MacOS and Ubuntu,
- Mobile Safari and Mobile Chrome on tablets.
