Development challenges usually run between a few days or one to two weeks. The task is usually to complete a piece of functionality in a software product or to create one from scratch.
Development Track at Topcoder consists of three types of challenges:
-
First2Finish (F2F) challenges - First2Finish are quick challenges in which competitors are asked to fix bugs or do a small task. The challenge is open until the project manager or copilot running the challenge has a winning submission.
-
Code Challenges - Code challenges ask you to develop code for apps, services, etc. Final fixes, which are sometimes required after a typical challenge, are not included in these types of challenges.
-
Ideation challenges - Ideation Challenges ask you to research and ideate a solution on the problem statement presented to you.
The most popular challenge type in the development track is the code challenge. The technologies are varied, ranging from AngularJS, Node.js, Java, iOS, Android, Python, and several others.
In a code challenge, you will develop code for apps, services, etc. You must ensure your submission addresses all the requirements mentioned in the challenge specification. You also need to ensure your code is modularized, clean and well documented, and you need to provide clean documentation for deployment and verification.
