Overview
What this challenge is about.
Build a bug-tracker MVP for a gaming studio, implement CI/CD, run usability tests, and ship v1.0 to earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The studio (founder-led, niche cozy-game audience) has tried 4 free bug trackers and bounced off all of them — they need something tuned to their community-playtester workflow, not enterprise issue management.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build and ship a custom bug-tracker MVP for an indie-game studio end-to-end in 4 weeks, with real CI/CD and a usable handover.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Run the full software-engineering process on a 4-week project
- Set up CI/CD with PR checks + main-branch deploy
- Write E2E tests that catch regressions before users do
- Hand over a project so the studio can maintain it without you
