Challenge Overview
Welcome to the IBM Castle - AngularJS Responsive UI - Inbox Combo [Bug Bounty + Bug Hunt] Code Challenge
This is Combo [Bug Bounty + Bug Hunt] Code Challenge!. The goal of this challenge is to fix a number of Data Implementation, User Interface and Responsive (Mobile, Tablet, Desktop) issues for the IBM Castle Application specifically for INBOX page and at the same time you find Bug and report to us!
This Inbox Combo [Bug Bounty + Bug Hunt] Code Challenge can contain updates to AngularJS, HTML, CSS, Images, Responsive, Data etc with a key focus on fixing any Issues for INBOX page only.
A [Bug Bounty] Challenge is a task-based challenge format that will pay Topcoder Community Members to fix reported UI and Responsive bugs within our ongoing development GitLab repository. A [Bug Bounty] Challenge is different then a First2Finish Challenge in that you use GitLab Issues to assign issues to yourself.
In this [Bug Bounty] the issues vary widely in scope. Some are small cosmetic changes that shouldn't require more than an hour to diagnose while others require more extensive testing across mobile, tablet and desktop environments.
Challenge Scope
We need to update and fix Inbox Page issues within our Castle AngularJS Application. We have a list of Issues in GitLab and will continue adding issues over the next week. This challenge will remain open until all bugs are closed/solved, or we announce the challenge is closed in the Challenge Forum.
Multiple ways to win money!
- Claim an issue and fix it! (win the prize money associated with that issue)
