Cytoscape Bug Bounty Program
The Cytoscape team is committed to producing Cytoscape code with as few bugs as possible – when we have bugs, we want to get them understood, prioritized and (hopefully) fixed as soon as possible.
The v3.0 release gives us an opportunity to show our appreciation to our early adopters by offering a bounty for Cytoscape bugs.
How the Program Works
The bounty depends on how we classify the bug:
| Classification |
Bounty |
| Program crash and/or data loss |
10 points |
| User interface not working as intended |
5 points |
| Cosmetic user interface error |
1 points |
The bug must be
- Original and previously unreported – see
existing bug list
- Reported by Feb 28, 2013
- Reported using Cytoscape’s Report a Bug feature (off the Help menu)
- Clearly and concisely reported to allow reproducing the bug
- In the Cytoscape core, not an app
Bounty points
