RULES TO FIND BUGS

We need you to hunt for the issues and report these issues to Github.

 

Github Repo:

https://github.com/topcoder-platform/community-app

 

Each issue you report should have the following:

1. Clear title for the issue

2. Provide a detailed description with screenshot(s)/ video/ log file(s) (if any) with steps to reproduce the issue. Any bugs without a detailed description are likely to be rejected.

3. If you have technical explanation, then you can provide more details with links to the code in the Github repo that is causing the problem.

4. Add the label “PD - Member - Migration” to your tickets so we can identify them.

5. Assign it a priority level you think fits:

   1. Blocker - This bug causes the app to fail. No work around exists. E.g. app crashes, app freezes etc.

   2. Critical - This bug causes the app to fail for some specific cases. No work around exists.

   3. Major - This bug causes the app to fail, but there’s a workaround to prevent that issue.

   4. Minor - This is an annoyance, but won’t prevent the app from running normally.

   5. Enhancement - Something noticed by testers that should be fixed, but isn’t considered a bug.

Please note:

1. Assigning what you think is the severity helps the admin/co-pilot. It is up to them to determine their actual severity, so it may be reassigned at their discretion before opening the bug for the bug bash.

2. If you have doubt about specific feature not working please post in forums for clarifications.

3. We will not pay for duplicate bugs. We will accept the first submitted bug, based on time in Github. Please do not submit slight differences to try and get accepted. This will get you banned.

4. The member that report the highest number of issues of priority (Blocker/Critical/Major - weighted average - 10/8/5) will win the first place prize.

5. There will be no appeals phase. The decision of PM/co-pilot for validity and severity of each filled issue will be final.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS

In addition to the first place prize, we will be awarding the following prize money to other competitors

Blocker/ Critical - $10

Major - $8

Minor/Enhancement - $5

The additional prizes will be up to $200 for 2nd position, $100 and for 3rd position.

No prizes will be awarded beyond 3rd position for any bugs

Final Submission Guidelines

You will need to report your issues in our Github repo. Please submit a text file that contains your github handle. This is needed so we can process the payment if you win.
