Challenge Overview

Requirements

In this bug hunt, you will hep us to test the reskinned TopCoder Legacy Site. We have deployed the reskinned version to preview.topcoder.com/tc.

The primary area we have reskinned:

/TC

http://community.topcoder.com/tc

Forums

http://apps.topcoder.com/forums/

My Topcoder

http://community.topcoder.com/tc?module=MyHome

Statistics

http://community.topcoder.com/tc (everything under “Statistics” in left-nav)

Marathon http://community.topcoder.com/longcontest (everything under "longcontest" servlet)

You can find the reskinned version of the primary areas above from preview.topcoder.com/tc

Important parts for QA:

  • Find out the parts linked from the new site but not reskinned (except the review opportunites and review board)
  • Test all the screens associated with forums: Post, Preview, Attach Files, Different view modes, settings etc.
  • Test carefully the My TopCoder - Payments section. Try to do all the possible tasks within the area.
  • The Algorithm parts (SRMs and Marathon) have many pages linked deep from the beginning entry from left navigation panel. Make sure to thoroughly test them.

Web Browsers to support:  Latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE 8 +

Review Judge Criteria - important to read before you start:

To avoid the situation that competitors find out a lot of trivial bugs instead of major / critical bugs, we want to adjust the ranking rule like the following:

  • A >= major level bug gives you a score 10 - bug prevents user from performing an operation or cause a feature missing, or a major UI issue exists in many places 
  • A minor level bug gives you a score 1.5 - a minor UI issue causes the page not rendered properly
  • A trival level bug gives you a score 0.5 - a tirval issue is like front size, padding / margin, grammar error, typo, colors, font-weight etc

Use your own judgement to determine the priority level the bug belongs to, but it's up to the reviewer (copilot) to determine the correct priority level in the review phase.

The competitor with the highest score will win the prize of the bug hunt challenge, please note that only the 1st place prize is given in this bug hunt. For non-winner, we pay the following for the found bugs - update to $200

  • $10 for major
  • $2 for minor
  • $1 for trival
