The apis you need to test will be shared on 06.16.2018 12:00 EDT on the challenge forum.

RULES TO FIND BUGS

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

https://github.com/appirio-tech/ap-challenge-microservice, this is a priviate repo, please self-register by following the steps in forum.
 
Each issue you report should have the following:

- Clear title for the issue, we'd like to use the title to distingush the scenario, so let's format the title like [API Name] - [Admin/Anomymous/Normal User] - [Filtering Options] - [General Description Of the Problems]

- CURL command to call the api, you can run in Postman, and copy from there.

- Saved json response files, and description for response difference.

- Add the label “Challenge Detail API” to your tickets so we can identify them.

- Assign it a priority level you think fits:
  • Blocker - This bug causes the api to not responding. No work around exists. E.g. app crashes, app freezes etc.
  • Critical - There are fields in api response missed
  • Major - The fields in api response present, but the format is different from the compared api response.
  • Minor - This is an annoyance, but won’t prevent the app from running normally.
  • Enhancement - Something noticed by testers that should be fixed, but isn’t considered a bug.
Please note:
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.

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

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.

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.

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
