// MISSION BRIEF
Your Mission
CloudNest just launched a new signup form and the support inbox is already smoking. Five distinct defects made it to production.
Your job:
- Explore every part of the form, every field, every state, every message.
- When you find a bug, file a structured report: clear title, numbered repro steps, expected vs actual, and an honest severity.
Scoring dimensions:
- Detection, how many of the seeded defects you find (severity-weighted)
- Report quality, specific titles, reproducible steps, clear expected/actual
- Coverage, how much of the app you actually explored
Pro tips:
- Validation bugs love boundaries: empty, too long, almost-valid.
- Watch what happens after actions, not just during.
- Read every message the app shows you. Carefully.
- Duplicate reports of the same defect earn nothing, one good report beats three vague ones.
