Challenge Overview

Challenge Summary

Welcome to the “Billing Rate App- Bug hunt” challenge! The goal of this challenge is to find any outstanding issues in the provided web-based application. This application includes a frontend app, backend rest API, and AWS batch Job.

NOTE: You will need to deploy applications locally, an AWS account is required.

NOTE: This challenge will have 24h for registration (after which source code will be shared) and then 48h for bug hunting.

Project Overview

Our client wants to build a tool that has the capability to calculate & view rates for a given population of contracts within specified groups or lists of members. 

  • For this, we have developed a frontend application from where users can upload the rate inquiry request. 
  • This request is saved in AWS S3 as a CSV file(which we will call input file) in the “/input” directory. 
  • This input file will be processed by a service running on the AWS batch job(which we will call rate file processor). 
  • The rate file processor will consume the existing client’s API and prepare the result. 
  • The processor will save the result into another AWS S3 directory “/results/”. 
  • The result can be either successful or failure. If the result is successful then the result file format will be .csv else .err file. 
  • This results file will be accessible to the user through the frontend app.

So far, we have developed all three parts a frontend prototype, backend rest API and rate file processor job. Now in this challenge, we will be finding issues in this system.
