Quality assurance (QA) track competitions call for competitors to participate in organized QA testing of a piece of software. Technical background is not necessarily required, but experience plays an important part in gaining a good score and rating.
The QA Track, consists of four types of challenges:
-
Unstructured Testing: In these types of challenges you are asked to test without predefined test cases, also known as Bug Hunt.
-
Structured Testing: In these types of challenges you are asked to execute predefined test cases step by step and check if test results are correct
-
Structured Test Case Writing: In these types of challenges you are asked to write test cases based on prototypes and functional requirement specifications.
-
Automated Testing: In these types of challenges you are asked to use automation tools to execute test cases.
The most popular challenge type in the QA track is Bug Hunt. Here you are asked to report bugs including the steps to reproduce and the type of bug you found. While competing with others, you are paid for each verified bug and can also receive extra prize money for finding the most number of bugs.
