Welcome to the BOOST - Task Marketplace Responsive App .NET App Bug Hunt Challenge!
We are in the process of developing and planning out our new Task marketplace application, which will become an internal community portal used by our employees to crowdsource open work/tasks within our company. The main purpose of this app is to be a task marketplace - a tool where tasks can be posted, searched, and completed.
In the last few weeks, we’ve run the following challenges
-
- A design challenge followed by a UI prototype challenge
-
- These were followed up with a backend challenge and a frontend integration challenge
The app is now in a pretty good shape and we want the community to test it out.
Browser Requirements
Firefox, Safari (mac only) & Chrome latest
IE 11+

RULES TO FIND BUGS
We need you to hunt for the issues and report these issues to GitLab, to get access to the project, post in the challenge forums. Gitlab Repo - https://gitlab.com/topcoder-dinnaco/boost-app
The issue you report should have the following :
1. Clear title for the issue
2. Provide a detailed description with screenshots/ video with steps to produce as the issue description. Any bugs without a screenshot or video are likely to be rejected
3. If you have technical explanation, then you can provide more details with links to the code in the gitlab repo that is causing the problem.
4. Assign it a priority level you think fits:
4.1. P1 - Blocker - This bug prevents anyone from using the app in any browser. No work around exists.
4.2. P2 - Critical - This bug prevents some users from using the app on some browsers. No work around exists.
4.3. P3 - Major - This bug prevents some users from using the app, but they can work around the issue (ie: use a nav to get back home, submit the form with the enter key when the submit button is off screen, etc)
4.4. P4 - Minor - This is an annoyance, but won’t prevent the target market from using the app
4.5. P5 - 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/button not working please post in forums for clarifications.
3. We are mainly looking for issues related to style, logic, flow, and functionality. Spelling mistakes issues are considered trivial.
4. We will not pay for duplicate bugs. We will accept the first submitted bug, based on time in GitLab. Please do not submit slight differences to try and get accepted. This will get you banned.
5. The member that report the highest number of issues of priority (Blocker/Critical/Major) will win the first place prize.
