// 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:

  1. Explore every part of the form, every field, every state, every message.
  2. 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.
