It all started many years ago when one of our brilliant consultants created the very first version of the Bughunter Challenge. Back then, it was designed for job fairs and events — a playful way to spark curiosity and invite people into the world of quality assurance and software testing.
Fast forward a few years, and we decided to take this idea to the next level. With the creativity and expertise of Mille, the mastermind behind the application, Bughunter continued to evolve. What began as a simple game grew into a platform with different testing scenarios, fun challenges, and even themed user interfaces.
Since 2023, we've been running our Easter and Halloween Bughunter Challenges twice a year across the entire SYVE Network with participants from all over world. The rules are simple: sharpen your QA skills, find as many bugs as possible, and compete for the chance to win a gift card/voucher. But beyond the prize, the real reward is rediscovering the joy of testing.
Why? Because making QA fun matters. As Software Testers, Test Automation Engineers, and Test Managers, or in other SQA-relared roles, our daily work often comes with pressure, responsibility, and complexity. The Bughunter Challenge is a chance to step back, reconnect with the basics of QA, and reignite the passion that brought us into this field in the first place.
We are incredibly grateful for Mille’s ongoing support and the continuous improvements he brings to the game. Thanks to him, the challenge keeps evolving - and thanks to all of you, it keeps growing. Every year, more and more QA enthusiasts join us in celebrating the craft we love.
And the fun continues soon again! We are looking forward to launching our upcoming Halloween-themed Bughunter Challenge on October 22nd, where our little ghost needs your help to find its way while you’re busy searching for bugs in the game at the same time.
So, whether you're a seasoned bug hunter or just curious to give it a try: stay tuned, join the fun, and let’s keep making QA exciting together!
