What We Expect From You on the Platform

We want you to succeed on Test IO — and to help you do that, we’re sharing some clear expectations.

1. Performance

While you’re a Greenhorn (first 50 bugs)
You’re learning — that’s okay. Ask questions, explore, improve. Perfection isn’t expected.

After Greenhorn (50+ submitted bugs)

  • Keep your bug acceptance rate above 50%

  • We take into consideration your contributions over the past 60 days

  • If it stays below 50% for the recent activities, the Compliance Team may reject your account

2. Professional Conduct

  • Be respectful in test chats, bug comments, Discord, and support

  • Read and follow test instructions carefully to avoid mistakes, warnings, or bans

  • Join only if you plan to test — if you can’t participate, leave the cycle so others can join

3. Do

  • Understand the scope: Read feature descriptions and the test brief before starting

  • Collaborate: Ask for help when needed and support others

  • Report reliable bugs: Only submit issues you can reproduce; confirming others’ bugs improves quality

4. Don’t

  • Use automated tools (scripts, VMs, emulators) that compromise integrity

  • Be abusive or harass anyone

  • Rewrite known bugs to pass them as new

  • Submit placeholder or incomplete bug reports

  • Create multiple accounts

  • Submit non-reproducible bugs

  • Ignore device/browser requirements — use what the test specifies
