About
Welcome to the Test for Success Challenge Series! Each week we will be launching a challenge with around 250 regression test cases or an exploratory testing challenge, which need to be executed on Android, iOS, and Web Browsers within 24 hours.
You read that correctly, there is no coding or designing needed in these challenges. All you need in order to qualify is to have the correct device and have good attention to detail when reading the challenge spec. Plus these challenges have TCO points too!
This series of challenges are going to be great for our new developers and lurkers out there who want to begin to get their feet wet in the Topcoder Community!
A great opportunity to get engaged with Topcoder this year!
